I remember the first time I read a hype article about the memristor. They really made it sound like it was coming out in a year or two. Guess I should've known better.

You can buy devices with memristors today:

They've been delivered as promised. I read this as HP not getting the performance they need to surpass SRAM at its own game and also be nonvolatile. Which, to me, is kind of duh. You have to bring new tech in from the edges - niche, but important, products that are very ill-served by existing tech. Once you've got your production ramped up and the kinks worked out, then you take on at the really central stuff like CPUs.

Of course, it's very easy to say all this from my armchair :)
