Rather timely announcement, after my presentation last Tuesday... http://www.toshiba.co.jp/about/press/2005_04/pr1501.htm Not sure if they licenced the technology from one of the patent holders... If not, we might start to see some legal activity on that front. In any case, it will be interesting to see what sorts of products and applications emerge. -- Gilbert E.
