It&#8217;s obviously still very early, and there are some limitations on the technology right now, but the potential makes it quite a worthwhile technology to follow.  While it may not ever match what silicon flash memory can do in terms of storage and stability, plastic memory could provide some new and fascinating options for implementation, mainly in being a lot more flexible.  That means it could be integrated into all sorts of new things &#8212; including electronic paper and other offerings.  Of course, the trickiest part in understanding new disruptive technologies is often in thinking about what sorts of new products it would allow.  So it would be great to hear from folks what they think flexible, plastic memory might allow, and how it might change certain markets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/blog\/itinnovation\/articles\/20091214\/2322287346.shtml\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/blog\/itinnovation\/articles\/20091214\/2322287346.shtml#comments\">Comments<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/article.php?sid=20091214\/2322287346&#038;op=sharethis\">Email This Story<\/a><br \/>\n <br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=d50076d7326f9941a2ccc1419d8bdbf8&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=d50076d7326f9941a2ccc1419d8bdbf8&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=\"http:\/\/a.rfihub.com\/eus.gif?eui=2225\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=jHhjW9bKXt0:RwQm42pd2h0:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?i=jHhjW9bKXt0:RwQm42pd2h0:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=jHhjW9bKXt0:RwQm42pd2h0:c-S6u7MTCTE\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?d=c-S6u7MTCTE\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/techdirt\/feed\/~4\/jHhjW9bKXt0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is part of the IT Innovation series, sponsored by Sun &amp; Intel.
