>>As for Sony, "certainly we're interested in what they're offering," O'Haire says, "but our customer research didn't say they wanted a 200-megabyte drive that was slow."<<

I'm glad this Iomega employee had the gumption to insult his own company's product. You see, when he was talking about slow, he was obviously talking about the Zip drive. The Sony 200MB HiFi has much faster specs than the Zip 100 drive- 2-3MB/sec as opposed to SCSI 100 Zip's 1-1.5MB/sec. And, it's compatible with every computer out there with its 1.44MB floppy ability. All Sony needs to do to crush little Iomega is just get the thing on the shelves. They say this Spring. We'll see.
