It should also be noted that Dataplay states a "$100" cost of the Dataplay PC Card type III and USB drive. Note that this is the exact same $ figure Iomega gave when it gave the press release about its dismal Clik drive. Well, the story goes, when Iomega finally rolled out its Clik drives, they cost $299 and $249 for each external version. The PC Card Clik was rolled out for $199, TWICE as much as what they said it would cost (And this is with Citizen actually manufacturing the PC Card version, whose engineering skill and cost efficiencies are much greater than Iomega's). Don't be suprised when Dataplay drives are finally rolled out July 2002 with a price tag of $249. By that time, 128MB of CF or SD may be $20!
