I wish I'd be that guy who had invented this. (Damn, Toms, when will we have a luxury of having an "edit" feature ???)

hmm, it's read time is slow, 17 MB/sec ? it about the speed of normal HDD, even less than, but still other advantage is still cool :D i hope they sell it cheap

Its read speed is 140 MB/s. Its Async read speed is 17 MB/s compared to 0.04 MB/s of NAND flash.

Wow this makes it possible to have a phone with:
- a complete nav map on it - no need to DL in real time.
- your entire AV collection (ok, maybe just your favorites and not counting Parrish's Apple-pr0n collection ;)
- sufficient space for hours of recorded video
- agent-cached web content from your favorite sites and feeds

I can't think of anything else people might need to store and carry that measures into the TB range, aside from very complex work products that they want to work on at home.

Intel should make sure they put their AES-NI tech into every mobile-targeted chip they make, because that could be a distinguishing factor when you have this much valuable data on a mobile device.
