Tomo Hiratsuka writes "The imminent 10Gb 1-inch hard drives we've been hearing about have been well covered but the maker, Cornice, reckons its product could end up in over 70 million cellphones by 2009.

Is it supposed to mean you are trying to be funny? Or maybe you just haven't realised, that some people, instead of bringing everywhere tons of gadgets, with backpack full of different rechargers for each of them, prefer to have only one; which could provide phone, internet, digital-camera, entertainment in the form of MP3 player, games, video, act as place to store notes and reminders, and provide all kind of different services at the suitable time when you choose to use them (hint: not necessarily all at once while driving)?
I'm still waiting on a company to build a commercial level tri-corder. I'm getting sick of having to carry so much crap.
Live forever, or die trying.
That would be nice, but you always have the option to, you know, RTFA.
That's the attitude of someone who has no respect for other peoples' time. You're allowed, but I expect better of Slashdot's editorial staff. What is their function if not to save readers from unnecessary effort?
