HP pushes RFID replacement – Memory Spot

Getting ready to protest RFID tags that can be intrusive of user’s privacy? HP might help the world to get rid of RFID, as Memory Spot is smaller and stores larger amounts of data than RFID tags:

Memory Spot has a 10-megabits-per-second data-transfer rate and can store up to 4Mb of data, although the demonstration chip stores only 256Kb. The chip also has an integrated antenna, making it much smaller than RFID chips, which get their size from separately attached antennae.
