Rocky says>>Jaz2, when for roughly the same money they can get 135% MORE storage, much better performance and speed, and more reliability (the SyQuest Quest (Rocket) has a high-tech dust filteration system built in and uses MR -- Magneto-Resistive technology.).<<
The "Rocket" is not out yet.
I don't believe that an undercapitalized, red ink gushing, Jaz copying company like Syquest beat Iomega to the MR removable hard drive market.
It's a little easier for Syquest, they can just abandon their base with each new product that comes out. EZ135 was not compatible with previous Syquest products, neither was the 230, neither was the Syjet, neither is the Sparq, neither will the Rocket be.
That is part of the beauty of the Jaz, all the built up base is kept "in the fold"; the same is true of zip plus and will be true of zip2.
You say: >>what is really laughable is that Iomega is getting arrogant enough to think that people will buy an overpriced, delayed piece of yesterday's technology like Jaz2,<<
Nice thing about Iomega is that they do consumer research, they know what the customer will pay before they actually ship and price the product.
