<<I think that the most likely resolution of the Nomai litigation is of a limited licensing deal with Nomai where they could produce Zip disks for distribution in Europe/Asia. They'd have to be branded Iomega.>> Philip, I have disassembled numerous Zip disks, and two Nomai disks. The XHD is CHEAP. Iomega's disk production costs must be lower than Nomai's even though the XHD components are cheap. The XHD sells in quantity to end users at $9-10. Iomega will soon drop prices on media, so that end-users will be able to buy the real McCoy at retail (list) of about $9-10. Nomai cannot produce in sufficient quantities to do real damage to Iomega. The only threat presented by the XHD is the possibility that Nomai may license production to someone with the production capacity to crank them out in volume. Put Iomega's brand on the Nomai disk? Not in this lifetime.
