Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Imagine being able to store the story of your life, complete with pictures, on a microscopic chip the size of a grain. Right now, you can't get the complete story - just 100 pages - but in the near future the new HP Memory Spot will be able to store a Harry Potter book.
The new Hewlett-Packard developed chip is the most advanced integrated
circuit of its size on the planet. It includes a processor, storage of
up to 4 megabits, and an antenna on a dot about the size of a grain of
rice.
In addition to its amazing storage capacities, the tiny read-write
device can transfer data wirelessly at an amazing 10 megabits per
second. That's 10 times the speed of Blue Tooth technology and much
faster than RFID devices.
What's more, according to HP, the Memory Spot is much more secure than
other wireless devices because the chip has be touching or no further
than 1 to 2 mm away from its accompanying read-write scanner.
Applications for the Memory Spot appear endless, including far more
comprehensive security ID cards, medical bracelets containing entire
patient history, postcards embedded with rich media information, and
the list continues on.
Some analysts are already tipping that the Memory Spot could very soon make RFID tags obsolete.
