IBM are close to trialling a new type of memory.
It's claimed an mp3 player could hold 500, 000 tracks.
At 3'30'' per track that's over 3 years of listening pleasure...

Why would you want HD video on a tiny little screen? You wouldn't be able to see the detail! Someone would buy it though!

Yottabyte: A Yottabyte is approximately 1,000 Zettabytes. It would take approximately 11 trillion years to download a yottabyte file from the Internet using high-power broadband. You can compare it to the World Wide Web as the entire Internet almost takes up a Yottabyte.
