Philip, Nice to see some real IOM related discussion here. How reliable is your unnamed source? I am not expecting 100% assurance but are the odds of trusting atleast 60%?

This $199 2 Gig drive has been talked for a long time - in fact this could be a Nomai product. I think IOM learned from SYQT not to ignore these and so they might do a preemptive strike against Castlewood. Besides, if this is technically possible by Castlewood, it should be possible by IOM too and i am glad that they are not sitting quiet here.

About the 10G optical drive, wow!! that would be cool and could provide some nice margins or atleast compensate for the drop in margin when this $199 2 Gig drive is released.

Any technology company should be pushing the envelope further and the most successful one will become a Gorilla eventually. Just releasing one 100MB drive and dreaming that the whole world would go for that is risky. In fact, that dream is possible as long as they have some high margin products in the high end to compensate for the lack of margin in the 100MB side. Cost cutting is possible only so much but potential in new products is unlimited.

Thanks.
