Re: [Digital BW] Storage of digital images

Given all the hype some time ( what it's been about 9 months now ) about 
sensor, it is odd that we haven't seen it. I would suspect there are 
some problems with fabrication of chips with consistent properties in 
large quantities to make it economically feasable.

Not every good idea in semiconductor physics makes a good consumer product.
