Holographic Storage!

They seem a bit late to the party compared to InPhase.

I don't think recording techniques or better holographic media are really going to make the difference in commercializing holographic storage. What's really needed is cheap (~100$) active q-switched lasers. Being stuck trying to keep the medium still with tolerances in the range of nm for durations in the range of ms is never going to make for cheap writers.
