>>If people are going to keep pictures on their hard disk, (making copies onto Zips, e-mailing to friends, etc.), then I'm not sure that n-Hand makes a lot of sense. People may have a need for a few disks, used the same way that flash memory is now, but they will use those few disks over and over. And they won't be as convenient or small or reliable as flash.<< Jon - N.hand might not be as reliable as flash, maybe not as convenient or small either. But it will be a LOT cheaper. Current flash RAM prices are around 15 to 20 bucks a megabyte. Sure, prices will come down. But can flash RAM ever be profitable at 50 cents a meg? And if so, how much will n.hand disks cost by then? I do agree that n.hand is still just a gleam in the eyes of IOM stockholders. It may or may not ever add anything to the bottom line. I believe that even if n.hand were to be a complete flop, Iomega would still have plenty of ways to make money. - Allen
