Want to replace my IOM Zip with something up-to-date and the Sparq looks compelling. Are there are reviews out yet? Any users with recommendations?

PCMall has the Sparq1.0 for $199, internal or external incl 1 GB cart. Three more gig for $99.

Regards

Just got back from my local CompUSA here in lower New York state.

Asked the sales person "Where's that new external drive?"
You mean the SparQ?
Yes.
Sorry we're sold out. Should have a new shipment in a week or two.
How many did you have in?
About 14 units.
How long did it take them to sell out?
They were gone the first day.

Don't know how much of this is sales hype but this scenario may be
representative of current market.
