>>low-end digital camera that takes terrific pictures<< You must not be too picky. 80k per picture may be fine for viewing on a monitor, but printed is not satisfactory (imho). When, yes when, n.hand comes out, I hope the resolution can be set depending on what camera is purchased. 1 photo on a 20 mb disk would would give detail for my tastes. Maybe Iom plans to target only the low-end user, but 35mm enthusiasts won't settle for junk. The floppy disk camera is not much more than a novelty that will sit in the drawer after initial use.

>>>>I have a low-end digital camera that takes terrific pictures. 48 pictures in 4 megabytes. That comes out to slightly more than 80k per picture. Even assuming 200K per picture, that's 7 pictures per floppy disk. So you have to change floppies after 7 pictures. Is that such a big deal for casual use?<<<<<< Doesn't this also imply that one n-hand disk will store 250 to 100 pictures at those pictal densities. You might also have the option to take one picture that consumes 20,000K for the highest quality. This does sound like a big deal for both the casual and serious users. In this application the n-hand sounds like a system that will be embraced by camera buffs. Tom

Just a thought, RE: Record-it software, read this: Record your favorite CDs RecordItT lets you easily record your favorite CDs to your computer, Jazr or ZipT drives. Pretend you're a DJ or the program manager at a radio station recording the play list of the day. You'll get the most out of your disk space because using QDesign* Corporation's realtime compression, you can record music from one to two hours on a single 100MB Zip Disk, or ten to thirty hours on a 1GB Jaz disk! You can also record live audio from your computer's microphone or line in source with RecordIt. If they can do this with audio why not pictures? Anyway a new digital camera would not excite me, however a new standard for ALL notebooks, Sub notebooks, PDA's...using n-hand disks.....would make me very excited. Maybe make the n-hand 50 megs....and the ZIP 300. But who knows...maybe the anouncement in 7 days is a color change, maybe YELLOW? Still wondering where my free gifts are from Iomega when I bought 2 zips back in the spring.............
