Before anyone gets too excited, that guy's been promising that this
stuff is "just around the corner" or "very near commercialization"
since 1996, at least.
This is seriously thin vaporware; I wouldn't believe this guy telling
me the sun was out if I didn't have a window handy.
The CES announcement and this website was dissected at length on
Slashdot a few months back. <http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?

All he's ever shown in pubic is black boxes and some unverifiable
screen shots.
The stuff on this web page makes NO SENSE as a memory connection;
those are plain old stereo plugs and photoshopped CF cards. There
aren't enough pins on the thing to support TB of ram. My bogosity
meter exploded when I first looked at that page, it pegged so hard.
If this technology really worked, rights to his invention would have
been snapped up by some memory manufacturer, and he'd be a very very
wealthy man.
