That Camera convention should be a warning to IOmega investors. The field is very crowded, the market segment has already jumped on board the PC card bandwagon, and most camera makers have either not heard of Vapor!, or have no plans to use it. Besides, several technical problems were discovered, such as the 2 inch cable necessary to interface with a PC Card(!) slot in the camera. This length of wire was said to cause problems with data integrity. Also, the picture showed Vapor! interfacing with, yes, you guessed it, a PC CARD SLOT in the computer! Now, all you have to buy is a PC card slot for your computer to use Vapor! How Convenient. Not. Any solution offered for using Vapor! in that report included cluttering up your computer desk even more than it already is. No thanks. Iomaniacs seem to be Oh so keen on Vapor! However, OEM's didn't exactly seem to be going Ga-Ga over it. Where do you Iomaniacs get this notion that Vapor! is such a winner? Maybe I'm blind. I just don't see it. On the other hand, I'm not the one holding the bag on this 50% haircut since December.
