Coming up with USB ... paper

Have you ever imagined: a thin paper like cigarette paper, can contain the contents of hundreds of books? That is becoming a reality when Intellipaper plans to launch USB with ... paper.

In fact, it's a sheet of paper that is embedded in the memory chip. This new type of USB can do all that a regular flash memory card can do.

Also, since it's as thin and light as a piece of paper, you can send it off as cheap as the postcards. It is worth noting that the new USB disk will not work if it is wet, as it is too soft to be inserted into the USB port on the computer. And even when dried, the disc can not be operated again.

Intellipaper said the cost of developing the USB paper is $ 300,000. Company spokesman Mark Baker said the new disk could cost as much as a normal CD, or less than $ 1 per disk.
