$8500. to $15,000. depending on completeness. Available January 2006.
Well, to me that translates into probably a $20,000.00 investment but you know it's not going to be anywhere near complete by January 2006. My guess.....$10,000.00 in January, when released very incomplete and a bunch of promises.
That's only 3 1/2 months away and they can't project the cost between $8500. and $15,000. Somebody is blowing smoke up something. If it sounds too good to be true...............
Yeah, I want one too. Who's buying?

The technology exists, but the laptop is indeed vaporware at this point, hence the "coming soon" statement in quotes.

Hate to ruin the fun, but everything on their site looks like a hoax!
First of all, if it sounds too good to be true, it is!
Second, until a mere mortal can hold it in hands, it is a hoax! Living in America should teach you these lessons like nothing else!

The first thing I saw that doesn't make sense (besides ridiculous claims) was "Nanomicrons". Nano and micro are both prefixes, where nano is one-billionth, and micro is one-millionth of a unit.
Nanometer would be a length equal to billionth part of meter, micrometer would be one millionth part of meter.
Therefore, "nano-microns" makes no sense!
Welcome to the world of Nanomicrons!?
More like "Welcome to the world of hoaxohoaxes"!
Then they specify the power requirements of the storage units, where they claim a mere 1.5 microamperes is needed for writing. I know electronics, and such thing is impossible, unless they are talking about one chip (still impossible until at least a dozen years from now), or even a smaller unit, and not the whole RAM drive.
Then their whole site looks amateurish at best, judged by any webmaster's standards, except maybe a kiddie standard (which I think that kids no older than 16 have made it).
Don't be a fool, and don't believe that junk!
It's only a wishful thinking, for now, and for a number of years from now!
Technology may exist for this kind of thing, but not at this level!
It is the same as saying that technology exists for a thermonuclear reactor, and then someone making a claim they have a pocket-sized thermonuclear reactor coming soon.
For those uninformed, thermonuclear reaction is also known as nuclear fusion, and the current technology (maybe) only allows a huge station, huge amounts of power and space to contain, maintain and control the process of fusion, AND get the electricity out of it!

Of course, it's a hoax! (However, in 5 years or so, it may possible...)

Curiously though, there is a website at the University of Heidelberg called the "AtomChip Group" that has this technology working.
