I emailed Varovision re Clickman product. Their response: Hello, First of all, thanks for your attention on our comapny and product, Clikman. I am Young Soo, Kim as the marketing director at Varo Vision Co., Ltd. Upon your questions, Would you mind letting me know the reason to ask us send our financials to your firm? Is there any special reasons ? On the financials, please considering that we are an R&D company and start the business from late of this year. We anticipate sales of, at least, 100,000sets of Clikman in 1999 , and the street price of it will be under USD250. According to our schedule, Clikman will be available at May 1999 in The States. Its engineering sample will be available at February or March 1999, at latest, for your test. Clikman is the product which, we want to, creates new concept of Digital Pocket Solution(DPS), which distinguished from PDA, HHC..., and supports MP3 file player, voice recorder, organizer and removable data storage with 40MB floppy disk drive, Clik!. Clik! is developed by IOMEGA Corp. If you need more informations on us and our products, you can find out more through our internet site at www.varovision.com , or do not hesitate to ask me. Happy New Year ! YS Kim/Marketing Director PS: we are going to be at Winter CES in Las Vegas from Jan 7 - 10 as a co-exhibitor od Samsung America, Corp. You also can meet me there, if you need. (my comments: 100,000 units is about $11 million in units net to IOM, counting an approximate number of disks sold. If IOM is able to capitalize on ten more such agreements, the sales could be generous to their bottom line/especially given their tax write-offs this year. If anyone lives in the Vegas area, you may want to attend their conference and give an eye witness report. This report was sent to me on 12/29/98).

Post from JW on rec.digital.photo regarding his purchase of Clik!: >>Well I am happy to see the threads for the Iomega Click drive are used so heavily. No matter what your point of view is the Iomega Click drive is doing a great job for me. When I posted the first thread I wanted everyone to know that the Click drive was out. Instead there are a few of you that are totally missing what the drive is used for. Once again I will state that there are (3) THREE units to chose from: Mobile Digital Plus Mobile is designed to go on the road (but does not have a Smart or Flash card reader). Digital has a card reader ** Plus has the combination of the two above. I choose the Digital package because of what it has included in it. I have a DC260 and have used the Click for a couple of days. Damn is it AWESOME! I paid $250 for it at CompUSA (because no other stores had it that day), and I paid the full amount because I was impatient! It is referred to as the 'Impatient Tax' (usually I buy on-line, but I wanted it right then). So for the rest of you that want to buy 16 smarts or flash cards and blow a grand.. go right ahead.. You do not get what this device was made for.. I will go and buy another 40MB for $10! ALSO: The Click I received has a great carrying case for the Click itself. The case comes with a belt hook, and has a spot to carry an extra Click disk. Oh, and by the way.. The click can be used for other purposes not just pix from a digital camera, but some of you will not understand that.. I am very pleased with the Click and will add it to my Iomega arsenal consisting of the Buz, and Jaz Drive. Neither of which has ever given me a problem! Out, JW sector47.com --- COMING SOON!<< Philip
