The world is going mobile. And to help the world achieve that kind of mobility, Intel has built a super small, rugged solid state drive. The Intel Z-P140 is the size of a penny and weighs .6 grams. And because it’s solid state, the Z-P140 offers low power consumption and a higher tolerance for bumps and bounces. Initial drives will be 2GB capacity with 4GB available by mid year 2008.  And that’s just what a growing, mobile culture needs.
