Suzy <<By the end of this month you will hear a lot more about numerous OEM's adopting IBM TinyDrive as their source of storage for portable devices--and NOT Iomega 40MB Flop!>> or you'll eat what? the standard fare? IBM drive is bw $400 to $500. You can pop it out then go buy another $400 drive. The megapixel storage capability of the drive won't be much different than clik! Speed; it's reportedly faster; but a normal sized hard drive is also faster than clik! Clik!'s speed, nonetheless allows it to handle full motion video with no discernible frame dropping. Clik! handles music wonderfully. You can't affordability mail a $400 drive (regardless of size due to the cost prohibition from possible damage/data corruption, but you can a $10 disk). $400 is still 90% above price parity for mass marketing. As for clik! OEMs; take another relaxant. Zip didn't develop a single OEM until it had been on the market for about 11 months and had sold nearly a million. Dust and contamination to the clik! - no one takes you seriously on this issue so stop repeating yourself. The same dust that contaminates a clik! contaminates a zip drive or floppy drive. In fact, the opening for the zip and floppy is 150% greater space-wise than the opening to the clik! which means that more dust will enter a zip drive and/or floppy over time than a clik! The size advantage of the clik! is that it fits comfortably in your fricking pocket - breast pocket, pants pocket, coat pocket, shirt pocket, back pocket, purse pocket, briefcase pocket. That's all it needs to do. Very few spys will need a clik! They may want a microdrive. But many more consumers should theoretically choose clik! due to cost/size advantages.
