14 DAY TRIAL // The technology leaders' engineering teams have been finally surpassed by a 25 year old Russian medical student who succeeded in developing a miniature earpiece which is smaller than a coin, measuring 6mm x 5mm x 10mm, informs Gizmodo.
The Lilliputian device is a Bluetooth compliant item which is made to hook up mobiles or Blutooth devices using a 'mediator' - a neckmounted microphone which is also linked to a mobile phone, for example.
Furthermore, this impressive little earpiece also features a 3.5mm minijack output, a standard headphone jack to be more precise. "There's even a detachable buzzer, for simple communication with your poker card counting buddies, or friends across the room taking multiple choice exams with you," reports Gizmodo.
But also others dream about miniaturization and one of them is the well-known HP which has recently rolled out a miniature wireless data chip that could provide broad access to digital content in the physical world, as the manufacturer's latest product is said to have no equal in what concerns size, memory capacity and data access speed.
It is said that these chips could be built-in in a sheet of paper or fixed onto any surface, and could also be available in a booklet as self-adhesive dots. The prototype chip, developed by the "Memory Spot" research team at HP Labs is, in fact, a memory device based on CMOS (a low-power integrated circuit design) and about the size of a grain of rice or smaller (2 mm to 4 mm square), with a built-in antenna.
I wonder? what's next?
