nomai <<You are mistaken about many things. According to www.nomai.com, the "Infinity 2000" is not a DVD drive, but a removable magnetic hard disc just like Jaz2. Expect this product to be dropped, as it would conflict with Iomega's Jaz2>>
the infinity 2000 technology supports technology like the Jaz 2, correct, and can be released as a lower cost version of a Jaz 2. the inf 2000 was to give IOM a low cost alternative to compete with Spar Q, i.e., 2gb disks to cost as little as $40 (presumably - you obviously implied from my post that the 2000 was a DVD?). only IOM/Nomai knows whether they will launch or not. the launch of the Nomai DVD, however, is very much happening, despite yourself. as for the CDr/rw drives competing with the Zip/Jaz; nah. at this stage they're still all products which are capturing percentages of their respective markets. Nomai's CDr/rw is not a big player. Phillips, owns a large share of this market. Nomai hasn't aggessively marketed their CD products in the US, but they're available through different big name OEMs under their respective brands. i would consider the products complimentary to IOM's financials and mutually exclusive, not as you suggest. |
