HP outlines memristor-based computer memory of the future

The NY Times article was more informative: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/01/technology/01hp-Web.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/01/technology/01hp-Web.html</a> Looks like it's 10x slower than DRAM. It might make it to market in 3 years but if it's speed is as slow, who will buy? Regardless, I'm still encouraged science marches onward.

I'm confused. The "April 8th HP announcement" seems to be related to the publication in Nature of a paper from May 2009. A bit of search turned this up:<p><a href="http://www.physorg.com/news190016024.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.physorg.com/news190016024.html</a><p>(paywalled) <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v464/n7290/full/nature08940.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v464/n7290/full/nature0...</a><p>(nice pic, but just an echo of yesterday's NYT pre-news) <a href="http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/computers/blogs/computer-chip-breakthrough-mimics-brain-synapse" rel="nofollow">http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/computers/blogs/computer-chip-...</a><p>Anyone has better ?
