Apple announced on Wednesday in the US a complete overhaul of its line of iPod portable music players, including a wireless-enabled model resembling the iPhone.
The world's smallest hard drives have already shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, but nanoscale computing may soon make that achievement look elephantine, say some of the stars of information technology.
