Researchers from Swinburne University of Technology are working on a new storage system which uses nanotechnology to create five dimensional discs which have a massive storage capacity. By using nanotechnology it allows the disc to stay the same physical size.
Discs currently have three spatial dimensions, but using nanoparticles the Swinburne researchers were able to introduce a spectral or colour dimension as well as a polarisation dimension

If you are stuck in a contract already over on Sprint but yet, want to get a Palm Pre then the price for an off contract phone has been revealed. The Palm Pre will cost $549.99 when launched.
