If it comes down to creepy mental pictures of frozen lap dogs in pens that look like they were taken from the set of "The Fly", or Seizure-inducing Blu Ray ads, I think I'm gonna go with the seizure.

Am I alone on this one?

Ha! Is it really? No kidding. Well, thats a relief. Sorry, I havent lived in the US for 4 years and it certainly shows, huh. Well, thanks for the info and that will be all from this section of the Peanut Gallery.

Guess I should go home more often, huh?

Although I don't this will ever be released unfortunately :( ]]>Jul 18th 2006 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/hps-very-tiny-wireless-chip-dubbed-memory-spot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/hps-very-tiny-wireless-chip-dubbed-memory-spot/
4Mb @ 10Mbps ... so basically it can blast out 500KB in about half a second.

You'll need a pretty cleverly austere format if you're going to get any significant medical history into 500KB (X-rays, doctor's notes, test data, etc... I'm making the assumption that people with a significant medical history are more likely to want to tote that stuff around in a wristband or whatever, compared to the relatively healthy, with the concomitant short medical history).

And... audio recordings for PAINTINGS? WTF? Is that so Engadget doesn't get sued for directly hijacking El Reg's musings about audio for photos, which certainly makes a lot more sense. Particularly considering HP seems to focus as much heavily on photography as they do on printers, these days.]]>Jul 18th 2006 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/hps-very-tiny-wireless-chip-dubbed-memory-spot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/hps-very-tiny-wireless-chip-dubbed-memory-spot/Just think of the dirt you could get on your mobile screen passing a bus-load of tagged inmates, yikes.

Umm, no. This device is reported (not in this article, though) to have a much shorter range than RFID. Good for security, a little worse for mobility. You will have to get it close (just how close exactly, I couldn't find out, but in the magnitude of centimeters) to the reader/writer.]]>Jul 18th 2006 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/hps-very-tiny-wireless-chip-dubbed-memory-spot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/hps-very-tiny-wireless-chip-dubbed-memory-spot/Jul 18th 2006 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/hps-very-tiny-wireless-chip-dubbed-memory-spot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/hps-very-tiny-wireless-chip-dubbed-memory-spot/And... audio recordings for PAINTINGS?

Many museums have audio players for self-guided tours, but the tours assume you're following a set path and timing. With this type of technology, the audio notes could be embedded near the work, and when you move within distance with your receiver, the audio track is received and played.
