      Fusion-io, which is working on handheld-size solid-state storage arrays that the company claims can do the same enterprise-level heavy lifting as conventional rack arrays, has been making a lot of news lately. In February it signed Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak as its chief scientist, and earlier in March it announced it had already doubled the capacity of its front-line product to 640GB. A 1.28TB version is due out later in 2009.
