A storage device capable of retaining 4Mbits of information and transfer that data at a rate of 10Mbits per second occupies the same amount of space as a grain of rice.
Darn it. I thought the HP about their latest storage device meant I could build a set of Perfect photocopies: A Memory Spot chip attached to a cover sheet eliminates the need to copy the original document. Just read the perfect digital version into the photocopier and the result will be sharp output every time, no matter how many copies are needed, and avoiding any possibility of the originals jamming in the feeder.
HP's team also sees several vertical markets, like health care, pharmaceuticals, and security, as potential beneficiaries of the technology. Information on an individual or a piece of equipment could be placed in the Memory Spot and worn or placed on what it identifies.
We can't help but think privacy advocates will express concerns, loudly, about the potential for violating people's privacy via usage of Memory Spot technology.
Corporate security types won't like the idea of someone losing that "perfect digital copy" of the company's business plan regarding paradigm-shifting synergies, or worse, passing the Memory Spot along in Cold-War,
