>>A question I have is how much, if anything, has been factored into the analyst's estimated Q1 earnings for sales of Buzz and Jazz2.<<

I think that analysts are more concerned with how much of that $100 Million Ad expense will be factored into Q1 earnings.

Add to that all of the legal council expenses from the lawsuits Iomega faces. I remember being laughed at and ridiculed back in Dec/Jan (before earnings were announced) when I said that Iomega could be in for some investor lawsuits. Is there anyone laughing about it now?

IOM will continue its trek down into the $7's very soon. We are coming off of a small dead cat bounce, the bottom is not certain. IOM's chart looks wretched, and this may scare off T/A and momentum traders for now. However, there should be strong support at $7 1/8. It may be tested soon.

Richard, Buzz is priced to generate disk sales so I wouldn't expect it to directly add much on Q1 earnings. Jaz2 is a "for-profit" item but "straight out of the chute", I doubt it will add significantly either. Likely more next Q. Combined effort might equal a fart in a thunderstorm.
