Called "racetrack," it is a solid-state memory that aims to combine the best attributes of flash, like having no moving parts, and the low cost of hard drives for an inexpensive form of nonvolatile memory that will be stable and durable, said Stuart Parkin, an IBM Fellow.

sounds pretty slick...

That sounds definitely slick, but from what i have read this is all in theory they haven't even made an prototype yet, so we will just have to wait and see until they have produced a working prototype.

Very interesting but I am also very skeptical since they don't have a prototype yet...
