HP Memory spot:

The tiny Memory Spot chip – less than half the size of a grain of rice -- makes it possible to attach digital information to any surface, object or document. So a seaside postcard could be accompanied by photos of your family at the beach. A wedding photo could contain excerpts of the wedding video or an audio recording of the ceremony.
Other possible applications for the experimental chip include hospital wristbands containing patient medical information or authentication tags for prescription drugs, costly electronic components and other frequently counterfeited items.
The chip is a read-write CMOS memory device, 2-4 mm square, with a built-in antenna and capacity of up to several megabits. With a 10 megabits-per-second (10Mbps) data transfer rate, it is 10 ten times faster than Bluetooth and comparable to Wi-Fi speeds.
