      Did optware in Japan have that many years ago? Called the HVCwriter / holodisc ?
      500Gb to 1.2TB on a creditcard or a holographic DVD

          Yes I believe they have been experimenting with this for quite a while but the big difference is they think they will be able to do this using regular cheap DVD discs.

              just because it's cheap for them doesn't mean it'll be cheap when it comes to market :/

                  The guy says " I wonder: aren’t we already heading toward a medialess world? "

                  No.
                  There will always be a need for storage.

                      I think even more amazing is the possibility of 500TB (that's terabyte) ipods. Wow!

                              I can't hardly wait. I'm tired of backing up full raw scenes to 5 x 4.7 GB disks.

                                  I recall there were 2 camps in holographic storage (like with the hd-dvd and the blue ray) with 2 kinds of laser technology. Samsung vs optware if I recall it correctly.

                                  500GB or better dvds would definatly sell if they were cheap and boost HD videos overall.

                                      some 2004 and 2005 pages:

                                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc

                                      These dvd discs could hold up to 3.9 TB !

                                      "the Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is an optical disc technology that, in the future, may hold up to 3.9 terabytes (TB) of information, although the current maximum is 500GB"
