News in IBD about STOR from sweden and Jaz arrays for network backup. Story says IOM getting INTO networking this way. STOR designs and sells servers with 4 Jaz. Anyone doing this with Syquest drives? My reason for being bullish on IOM is that they are POSITIONED! Sometimes techs are one hit wonders that soon face improved competion, but every once in awhile SIZE DOES MATTER! Of course products have to be great too, but the DEFAULT factor of going with IOM products is what will make this baby rock. The Clik! will be the ultimate example of what I'm saying. How many companies have already signed on. Is there and competeing protos in labs around the world. Of COURSE! But the "Default" factor for IOM is rearing it's head in a time when real needs for digital storage are just coming into play. I'm rambling. I just did some Dbase work using Win CE devices (HPC) and I'm suddenly drooling over a Clik myself. I think this portable device category will happen FAST and IOM could become what Polaroid would've like to become.
