It sounds like it might work for phones, palmtops & digital cameras.
they already use non-vol memory in some PDA's, have you ever tryed to turn them off but theres no off button just a suspend, thats what its doing.

sounds pretty cool, although surely people will be able to store malicous code on here that will live on after a reboot,

the hologram stuff is amazing there was an article about it on slashdot a while back, pretty intersting.

both of these are the future, but itll be a while before they drop to the prices of todays storage devices, which isnt great. still almost £0.80 - £1 for a Gb, so the price soon adds up. And there seems to be a floor that the old stuff will never drop below, like i wanted a 500mb harddisk for a project resently and shops were trying to charge me +£10, i wasnt going to pay that. i went to a garage/ boot sale and got 3 500mb drives for £1 which was more to my liking
