>> ...is comparing CLIK to Microdrive. << I compare Flop! to Microdrive because they are both mechanical devices that are crippled by the laws of physics. The first real world test of IBM Microdrive that I read revealed that it drains a great deal of battery power. Iomega Flop power consumption, as revealed by the VCall last week, is even worse than IBM's problems. (as is logical, as Flop! is a much larger mechanical device). It is no wonder that OEM's have been unwilling to build Flop into anything when these real-world power consumption test are brought to light.
