From Yahooo Financial News:

"Research and Markets announces the addition of 'Nanomemory: Commercial Opportunities for Nano-based Memory and Storage Technologies' to their offering.

In this report, NanoMarkets identifies the present and future opportunities for nanotechnology-based memory chip and disk drive solutions. The report analyzes and comments on the efforts of both established and start- up companies in "nanostorage," evaluates the viability of competing technology approaches and pinpoints current and future market opportunities.

This report examines the business prospects for the new generations of memory chips and disk drives and focuses especially on the following questions of vital importance to the development of this sector of the nanotechnology industry:

-- Which of the various technologies being touted for nanostoragesolutions show real commercial potential?
-- What new applications and devices will be enabled by nanostorage?
-- Will nanotechnology bring about a merging of the memory chip industry and the disk drive industry, as many expect?
-- How will nanostorage impact incumbent firms in the disk drive and memory chip business? (Hewlett Packard's nanotech efforts in this area
are expected to lead to replacement technologies for flash memories)
-- Which companies stand to win out and which will lose as nanostorage evolves?
-- Will the established players develop their own nanostorage products or acquire start-ups?"
