Using removable media for data collection is a bad idea since you can store a lot more for a lot less money on a hard-disk and transmit the data using radio communications or through a network connection. Using a Click! or Zip drive will always be an option in those cases but it's not critical. The market for Click! is roaming devices which require or generate large amounts of data and do not have access to a hard-disk or sufficient bandwidth to transmit data using wireless communications: navigational devices, cameras, small test equipment, et cetera.

Now to read that data in you will need one of two things: a standard interface to all of the above devices or, not surprisingly, a Click! drive in your computer. Despite being "only" 40 megabytes, high reliability and low power consumption are far more important. Should Click! establish itself as a de facto standard for portable devices that will propel acceptance in standard PCs primarily as "receiver" but also for backup. Zip isn't reliable, IMO, but Click! will be.
