Very cool. This is probably how transistors started out. If this works out we’ll have computers in wristwatches.

Rather than use the super miniaturized paradigm for new scale reduction technology, I prefer to think in terms of more power packed into the standard handheld & laptop sized devices we already use today. I and many users would have no interest in interacting on a human basis with a wristwatch sized device. The ergonomics are just too painful to contemplate. Blackberries and cell phones are small enough already, and I personally prefer a device with a full sized keyboard so I don’t have to type with my thumbs, or God forbid a stylus. Imagine the power & processing capability a small laptop sized device could pack with this molecular scale technology at its foundation :)
