DataPlay has a solution for music lovers who want to take entire albums
with them: technology that can store up to 10 hours of MP3s on portable
devices.

At Internet World on Wednesday, the Boulder, Colorado company unveiled a

matchbook-sized optical drive that can store 500MB and will cost
consumers less than $10. The storage technology could be used in
portable
music players, e-book readers, handheld computers, wireless phones, and
digital cameras as early as next spring, when shipping begins.
