I wouldn't bet money that the anouncement in 7 days is about the n-hand disk. IOM surpised me when they lanched that video thing.......going to give Snappy a run for the money. However back to the n-hand. I think that is the coolest thing I have seen in my 10 years of using computers. I can't wait to get my hands on them...if they ever bring them out. I think a good standard would be ALL notebook, sub-note books, PDA's come standard with a n-hand disk. Discard that piece of crap of a 1.44 floppy....I hate 1.44 floppy drives!!!! Have an optional 100 meg ZIP for the full size notebook but make the n-hand standard. As for camera's my last guess was just that...a wild guess. PC card storage is very expensive.....n-hand would make a great deal of sense in this area...but who knows.........I am just guessing. One thing is for sure, IOM sure has a great marketing machine.

>> a double whammy would be kodak AND u.s.r.x. palmpilot, which is looking like the "zip" of pda's. any thoughts? << n.hand will be introduced in more applications than just digital photo...if that were the sole market, it would have been out already. -------OT---------- Just about to crawl out of the cave this morning, head off the mountain and to one of your 'great' cities in the east where I will try to blend in with the natives (not much chance) for a few days ---fortunately, unlike many of you ( you know who you are), I am not addicted to SI. I can quite anytime and have done so many times in the past. Wish me luck, pray for me if that is your mode....you have no idea how much I hate being in a city!!!
