Theres not really consumer storage devices that would be able to keep up with the 5Gbps throughput speeds, let alone even 1Gbps.
Not yet, but maybe in a year when this is released ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20044930 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 17:11:48 EDT Re: Cool! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20044897 SoilFlames : Theres not really consumer storage devices that would be able to keep up with the 5Gbps throughput speeds, let alone even 1Gbps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20044897 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 17:06:13 EDT Re: Cool! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20044676 anon : Hey thats pretty straight we could use that right about now in digital cameras and cell phones.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20044676 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 16:35:52 EDT Re: Cool! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20042742 TKJunkMail :

Where does this thing get it's power from though? Otherwise, this would be a very nice enhancement for stuff if it can transmit through walls well as well. And $10 for a chip like this? That's cheap!
Its range is 10 meters or less(about 11 yards or 33 feet). Great for devices in an entertainment center talking to each other or as a replacement for bluetooth between PCs, cell phones, MP3 players, etc.

For moving data around a house, this isn't the technology.

This is really cool, but it costs about $10 to manufacture. They have to recoup costs for research and overhead, so it'll cost much more than that when it comes to market, but if it becomes widespread, the costs will go down dramatically. I like in the article how it mentions a video kiosk can upload a movie in seconds then you can download a movie in seconds when you get home. Even though we are moving to a home delivery via broadband, that would still be a meat idea for many applications.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20042495 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:31:17 EDT Re: Cool! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20042482 Steimes :

I imagine it would use a thin film battery.

The range of this device is very limited... which is actually a good thing for the type of applications it might be used for.
