They're not even close to $150, more like $450-550. However, if you consider it as a replacement for a $100 CD-ROM drive, then it costs $350-450. The media is $22 for 650mb, and is readable by standard CD-ROM drives (and DVD-ROM, for that matter). Speed of the drives are 6x (CD-ROM designation).

I don't think it's competition for the Zip in the consumer arena--I wonder about the corporate arena, though.
