<< One fifth the capacity of CLIK! for 10x the price
That's sure got me worried.>>

You should be very worried..

$99 is A LOT less than the CLIK! drive + 1 disk (about $200?)

Also, 1 year from now the cost could easily be half that.

Absolute capacity means nothing in the low end market. Here is what
matters:

LOW END:

Power consumption
Durability (ability to withstand shock)
Reliability
size & weight (big deal!)
cost of interface (to camera or PDA vendor)
total solution cost

WHO CARES?

total capacity of storage medium.

Compare FLASH vs. CLIK! in all the above areas. If you were designing
a PDA which would you chose? (forget you own Iomega stock and really
think about it)
