Ken -

I wasn't knocking logic. It shouldn't be the first test, though. In most situations, hard data tells you more than logic can.

But speaking of ludicrous statements, your statements about 200 dollar Clik! drives in 20 dollar game boys and 100 dollar phones are nonsense. Clik! doesn't have to be included in 20 dollar or even 200 dollar devices to make it a success.

What's the market for 1000 dollar cameras? I don't know, but obviously the camera makers think people will pay six to nine hundred bucks for good ones, or they wouldn't be making so many of them. BTW, I just saw the Agfa 1680/Clik! bundle featured on Buycomp.com for 725 bucks.

Of course I realize that my little anecdote from Fry's doesn't prove that Clik! will be a smash hit. It was just meant as an interesting tidbit, indicating that in a retail setting, the salesperson could see the value of Clik!, and furthermore, communicated it to me, the customer.
