ORB is in beta now. What's interesting about the orb is that it is hard drive technology, so it's much faster than an Iomega drive. Plus the capacity is 2 gig. That's alot of drive space. The only thing that make me wonder about the true potential of this market is that the run-of-the-mill person doesn't need this kind of storage. Only people who are artists, songwriters, or anybody recording lots of graphics or music or video.

Most of us just need 100meg or less, but we'd like it for as cheap as a floppy, not for as expensive as IOM has made it. If IOM had just, gotten the price down to $50-75 for the drive and $5 or less for the disk, they would be THE standard. No competition. Oh, well.
