Abstract :
Notebook, palmtop, and pen-based computers have unique storage requirements. In addition to a rapid growth in capacity to support emerging multimedia applications, portable systems require small, removable media; high shock resistance; thermal resilience; and light-weight, unique form factors dictated by ergonomic constraints and choices. It is argued that storage is the critical enabling technology for many new multimedia applications and addressing its rapidly increasing requirements is key to bringing forward this new technology.<>
