RFID gone spotty - this is awesome

HP has developed the 'memory spot', similar to RFID but way better.
Try 4mb of storage and 10Mb transfer rate and all in the size of a pencil dot.

Some of the example these guys have thought of are quite amazing. Maybe the cell phone with built in memory spot reader will be all the rage in next to no time.

Imagine going into a store and waving your phone at a 'spotted barcode' on a TV. Not only do you get instant access to a tech review but instant links to "Ferrit" mobile which tells you the shop down the road is selling the same thing for $1000 off today.
