>>this announcement is BIG! Rocky, what do we do?<< This "news" is nothing. It's just the same old song and dance "letter's of Intent" with no products to show for it. Besides, Agfa is but a tiny player in the digital camera market, light years behind the behemoths like Kodak, Sony, and Nikon. I have yet to see ANYONE with an Agfa camera. Nikon has already stated flat out (in a link I have posted several times before) that they will not EVER use Vapor!, as "disc drive-based cameras do not meet reliability standards in field use." Sony uses their own proprietary Memory Stick for cameras as well as regular floppy discs. Sony will never use Vapor! --And then there is the distinct possibility of a HiFD 200MB Mavica next year! Kodak, despite all of Iomega's hype and press releases, has only "endorsed" Vapor!. No products have ever come of this. Where are they? Instead of Iomega, we see Kodak branding their own Flash Cards. We see Kodak team up with Intel. All we see with Kodak and Iomega are lonely ancient press releases on Iomega's web page. Besides...Where is Vapor!? I don't see one anywhere... except at trade show displays.
