(haven't read to the end of the thread yet, so apologies if this has been brought up already...)

Reseller -- long timers here know that this point has been long discussed re: IOM suitors.

Just wanted to ask Sony vapor drive advocates one more time about how this might apply to Sony's new dirve if they should manage to bring it to market at a competitive price.

It seems that the profit advantage for other box makers would have to be significantly more in including a Sony over IOM product because every Sony drive they would sell would put $ in the coffers of a competitor.

If a box maker would not make a good buyer for IOM because of the market competition, why would the same competition endorse Sony's drive?
