<<IMO, KE is going to gamble the future fortunes of the company this year. Incremental advertising expenses to be $100MM in order to create demand for Zips.>>

Agreed. He wanted to "educate" the mass about the use of removable storage to create demand. I have serious doubt about spending 100M to convince consumer what they need. One analyst has suggested why not use the money to reduce zip pricing instead. And I can add to why not use the money to provide free technical support? Mouth to mouth is the most effective marketing. One dissatisfied customer can lead to several lost sales.
