Re: >>>There is a TON of competition and a very small, loyal installed base. Because SW is not distributed on ZIPs, there is no reason why box makers couldn't just drop ZIP on the spur of the moment. Especially since ZIP has not (and most likely will not) penetrate the sub $1000 PC.<<< Ken, a couple of comments: Brenden has it right, Compatibility is key. Compatibility is the most important factor for the increase in Zip demand. OEMs will not drop the Zip because the demand is there. Just look at IOM's fantastic OEM sales growth the last couple quarters. There may be a ton of alternative products out there, but there is not a ton of competition. Zip's market share and growing unit sales is verification. Others may produce products with better specs, better features or lower cost per MB, but as long as IOM continues with their plan, their low cost entry price and the compatibility issue will ensure their continued success.
