>>The only statement they make is "consumes about the same as a
minature Christmas light" (peak)

This amounts to: P = (current) (voltage) P = ~1-2 watts, V = 3.3V
current (estimated) peak is about 300-600ma. Standby, which is very
important, is unknown.. I'd guess about 1 tenth of this.<<

Ken -

Iomega has said that the current prototypes of Clik! incorporate a "deep sleep" mode, indicating a standby voltage possible quite a bit less than 30-60ma.

Your statements that the power consumption numbers on the web site are vague "because they are obiously having tons of problems with this," are not necessarily true. Perhaps the numbers are vague because the system is, after all, still in a prototype stage, and final numbers are not available.
