Assuming it can be as dense physically as current flash and RAM, there is a pretty nice market to target in mobile devices that's always looking for things that can lower battery use. Conveniently that's also a market where Apple

Sweden has plenty uranium, all we need to do is mine it and enrich it! (Apparently a trivial task, according to politicians in charge).

Cool! I think that image quality could be improved by using a suitable dithering algorithm, the current logic seems a bit simplistic. Could be a nice summer project for my highschooler…
