>> Especially Sony is planning to price the HiFD on the par with Zip drive and Zip media, only it is faster, bigger, and compatible with floppy.<< Well. I will believe this when proven with atleast some demo. The reason Teac asks you to wait till July even for a demo makes me really suspicious. Sony may be bigger than IOM but IOM is fully focused in this area and it is a life or death situation for them while it is yet another product for Sony. Pure focus has better chance of winning this game. i don't know about you but a promise of a Demo in July and product shipment in Aug/Sept is very suspicious to me. Also, Sony sez under $200 price for their drives and Teac sez it is closer to $100!!. Some how I feel that people here are giving way too much credit to Sony's FUD. At this point IOM's Clik! seems like a real product than Sony's HiFD. Any ways, we can all speculate what we want but time only can answer us and so let us wait for it ;-) Thanks for bringing up some good points though. -senthil
