Re-read the article. Kodak is clearly "purchasing" the cards. They are not evaluating. They are going to sell them. Denial is a wonderful thing. It lets one ignore ugly little realities, such as Vapor!'s continued rejection by any and all OEM's. No one to this day wants to install a Vapor! drive inside any of their devices for fear of massive product returns and Warranty claims.

Been thinking about Clik!! and Kodak The CEO's of Kodak and Polaroid must be in a quandary, they must realize that their industry is going thru a digital revolution that will erode away the residual income from film. The CEO's from Canon , Nikon , Vivitar , Casio , Olympus, Ricoh etc, etc must be biting at the bit for the opportunity to enjoy residual income. Flash cards will not provide the residual income that Kodak needs. Storage media is the only answer for these guys to retain or gain residual income. For a long time I was reserved in assessing the depth of Clik's involvement the camera industry and felt that flash was the preferred method of storage. After consideration I now feel that the importance of the revenue stream from co-bramded Clik! disks for the camera makers should not be underestimated. Regards Reseller

RE:Kodak. Here is a comment that a kodak person made. Doesn't this mean that clik! and flash go together and not against each other? We want the digital photography experience as accessible to consumers as traditional photography. Iomega's introduction of the clik! drives with access for our compact flash media is a major advance in this direction. These products will enable customers to take, use and store high quality digital pictures more easily." Jeff Peters, General Manager, Digital Imaging in Kodak's Digital Applied Imaging Business
