Zip Demand This appears to be the big issue now, and the one causing the most negativity on this board. Concern about demand for Zips is legitimate. Is Zip demand levelling off? Is there any way for us to know whether Zip demand is continuing to increase? The demand picture definitely doesn't seem as rosy as a couple months ago, but this is so hard to quantify. Has anyone done an SKU count lately--I would expect it's still increasing, but I'm not sure. Obviously demand and SKU counts need to continue to increase for Zip to become the new standard in writable removable storage. I wouldn't say the Zip is quite there yet, but there seems to be nothing else which can overtake it. I just wish standardization would hurry up (or, if it's never going to happen I wish I could see some clear sign of that)! I want the million Zip announcements back!
