Wow. A whole seven months to develop a competing product and then convince HP, Kodak, Microsoft, TI, Citizen, Matsushita, et al, to support your product instead of Iomega's. Sounds pretty simple to me. Why don't you do it yourself, Rocky?
Wow. Like any company interested in developing a competing product hasn't been working on one this whole time. Sony already has a mini-disk which holds 128 meg. Sony, btw, has a digital camera division as well. It would be as easy if not easier for them to adapt their minidisk to their cameras than it will be for Iomega.
No legally binding endorsements from any major guys. Microsoft probably has one person assigned to this thing half-time.
No disk drive actually exists.
Here's something from Iomega's web site:
As with the popular Zip drive, our objective is to make the clik! drive and disks become the removable storage standard for portable digital products by first achieving consumer acceptance with the mobile, external clik! drive, followed closely by adoption of the internal clik! drive by leading OEMs.
In other words, no real partnerships. |
