>>> The biggest problem of HiFD is that it is not available yet. If it is not available before holiday
season, potential buyers will become inpatient and simply buy the Zip instead (similar to
LS120). <<<

if HiFD misses the Christmas season then forget it. It will be too late for it to compete with Zip. Zip which is already selling for less than $100 will be even more cheaper and will have more installed base. Since HiFD is not even in a state of Demo, i seriously doubt if will be manufactured in volume by September and if they miss Sept they miss Christmas. Also, for OEMs, even September will be late and not many will take chances with their best selling season of the year.
