Yeah, but is Iomega making any profit in this? My guess is no.

They are in desperation mode now with the imminent release of HiFi and Orb. And, with a possibility of more computer manufacturers following Apple's lead, more companies could start dropping any kind of storage options from their boxes. This would only increase the appeal of an external flexible design, like the LS-120 Stupordisc, or the upcoming HiFi. Both of these can handle standard floppies, and their own proprietary superfloppy media. Zip CANNOT handle floppies, and this is a killer for machines that have no kind of external storage.
