IMHO there are two major advantages of using Clik! over flash cards.

1. Clik is "cross platform" the Clik! drive could be used for PDAs, laptops, cameras, etc. This spreads the cost of the hardware over several "appliances", making it even more cost competitive than flash.

2. Even though flash card capacity is getting lower it does not give you the option of "putting $10 disk in your pocket". Use up 96 mb of disk that's $300, want another 96 mb another $300....5 Clik! cartridges are only $50, that is 1/10 the cost of the flash card option.

On another note, Buy.Comp had a full page ad in yesterday's WSJ. The feature item at the top of the page was a USB Zip for $119.95.
