Public Sticky notes
It would be necessary to update the chip every so often to allow for new
releases, of course. But this could open up new business models that do not
depend on downloading music over the airwaves; instead, the phone could simply
exchange brief messages with a central server to unlock purchased tracks or
report back on what the user had listened to for billing purposes.

Researchers at Nokia, meanwhile, speculate that within a decade, the cost of
storage will have fallen so far that it might be possible to store every piece
of music ever recorded in a single chip that could be included in each phone.
