>>Iomega should win the the best show award, they have the prettiest dancing girls on the show, with mini skirt + pantyhose, <<

Did you check out the girls working at the Sony Booth info desk?

>>they're pushing their vapor ware the Clik. Whatever happen to N-hand.<<

no.hand was soundly rejected by the industry. So, they simply re-named it and now it is being soundly rejected all over again. No one is willing to install Vapor! into any of their devices. They are afraid that an internal Vapor! drive will cause product returns necessary when the drive fails. Once the Vapor! drive is broken, you have to return the whole Palm Pilot, Cell Phone, or Windows CE unit for repair.

Not a good idea. With Flash cards, if the Flash Card is faulty, just get a new Flash Card. No need to return the whole device like when a Vapor! drive fails. This is a major reason why Iomega's Vapor! has NO OEM's to this day.
