You cannot compare them. They are both target different markets.

You can compare the EZ135 to ZIP or SyJet to Jaz. EZ vs ZIP, I would
pick ZIP. It clearly has the mindshare and momentum behind it. I
have also gotten first-hand stories from friend would bought the EZ,
returned it, and bought the ZIP drive. SyJet vs Jaz is still an open
question. Jaz is just barely shipping and SyJet won't start shipping
until this spring. If I had to pick, I would probably give the advantage
to Jax since: Jaz is here and in limited shipping (I don't like betting
on vapour-ware) and I question if Syquest will be able to match Iomega
in supplying drives considering Syquest's weak financials.

BTW: Yes, I own Iomega stock.
