Well they announced it cautiously back in 2006, popular science ran an article on it. They've done some press mainly with EE magazines since then.
This technology has been in R&D for nearly a decade. I figure it pretty mature.

- jacquesm 12y agoPlans are not products, but let's wait and see before we get all happy.
- rogerdpack 12y agoYeah my thought too--I'll believe it when they actually release a product. It's like most research projects--initial results are great. Having it on the market means it really exists though...
- jacquesm 12y agoGMR went to market from discovery within a decade: http://www.research.ibm.com/research/gmr.html http://www.research.ibm.com/research/gmr.html I've been hearing for so long about the memristor revolution being just around the corner that I will simply wait until I can buy it before I get happy. It's cynical, for sure, but HP have been hyping this once too many for me. I do think it is great that they're working on this as hard as they are and I think if it pays off HP will be worth more than Apple by the time they're done. A fundamental break-through of this magnitude will be worth a fortune the likes of which we can probably not even imagine.
