Dale, [edited] I hadn't heard. But they can say anything they want about their plans to get listed. Actually doing it is another matter. If they had orders, we would have heard them tout it. I do not think they will be a threat to HD makers at all, regardless of what Iftikar says. Simply because a hard drive is cheaper and more reliable (it is sealed and works on the same disk all the time). GM another excerpt from WSJ... A month ago, Tan's company began making a new high-speed, high-density disk drive that industry watchers predict will dislodge traditional hard drives as the standard for personal computers. The 2.2-gigabyte Orb disks that slip into the drives store more data than most hard drives. Each can pack in 380,000 pages of text or one full hour of movie images and sound stored in digital video disc, or DVD, format. Who are these anonymous industry watchers? My guess is the reporter was fed info by Iftikar.
