Mike,
Exactly what type of device is needed to transfer digital pictures stored with flash memory to a PC and how much does this device cost?

Of interest: HP stated in the press conference that they are working to incorporate the Clik drive into a printer (or providing an outlet for Clik compatibility - not sure which) meaning that a Clik drive user could bypass the PC altogether when printing pictures taken with a digital camera.

Also, an analyst from HD Brous stated that the Clik drive could add as much as $1 billion in revenue for IOM by the year 2000.

P.S. I think there may be some confusion about whether the Clik is an external or internal drive. Actually, there are both internals and externals. IOM is attacking this market the same way they attacked the floppy market with the Zip drive: externals then internals. If the externals are a success then the OEMs will defintely want to begin to incorporate the internals into some of their handhelds. IMO, an external Clik drive is far less attractive than an external Zip drive. Though it should be added that at this stage in product development the Clik drive has by far much more OEM support (interest) than the Zip drive did at the same stage.
