RR, >>>As I've said before, it won't matter if Iomega rolls out a 200MB Zip, or a 500MB Zip. There already is a 1 Gigabyte solution at $199 with $33 (and less) media. It's called SparQ.<<<

One thing that has surprised me about Iomega is that they have failed to counter the competition's threat of "the Zip killer" by marketing their own "Zip killer". A well accepted business mantra which is very applicable in hi-tech is you must plan to make your own products obsolete. Ever since the Zip became popularly accepted, it became the benchmark for other companies to target with competing offerings.

Three years is an eternity in hi-tech and that is how old the Zip is. Certainly the technology exists to make a better Zip. If Iomega doesn't do it than some other company will. Unless of course profits really don't exist in this sector which doesn't bode well for all of the players.
