Breakthrough chip - HP Memory Spot
Posted by Vinod Ponmanadiyil on 03/6/07 in Featured
Memory Spot is a chip that you can stick anywhere like a sticker, that acts like a RFID but can also store data like USB. The size of this device is similar to that of a grain of rice and the storage capacity could be up to 4MB. It can securely communicate with the field devices at a rate of even 10Mbps.
The technology was developed by an HP Labs group based in Bristol, UK, over the last four years. “The Memory Spot chip frees digital content from the electronic world of the PC and the Internet and arranges it all around us in our physical world,†says Memory Spot project manager Ed McDonnell.

Perhaps RFID has the early mover advantage compared to this.

It’s amazing! Soon we’re not going to be able to tell what does and does not contain a chip.

Looks awesome, but I’m concerned about the reliability. I bet it would be a common problem with such a stick in hand

Yes Thilak. The consumer orientation of any new technology would only be possible by mass production. Yet, Industrial applications of this technology itself is highly promising.

That’s true, We should appreciate the technology, rather than taunting the reliability.
Nokia is having a similar idea for cellphones, I’m not sure how they are going to accomplish that
