>>IBM's drive is not removeable. You can't pop it out and put it in another device, to transfer data from your camera to your computer, for example. << Yes you can. IBM TinyDrive fits into a Standard CompactFlash type II slot. You can pop it out of your Clarion Car PC (already an official OEM, BTW!) and put it into your portable GPS Navigator with map and coordinate info for all of the United States. You can then pop it out of that and into your home PC CompactFlash type II reader and download all of your travel info into your blazing fast and stylish Sony VAIO 450mz DVD-equipped minitower beauty. The truth is, IBM has stolen all of the thunder Iomaniacs had hoped for, and OEM's are literally jumping on board the IBM TinyDrive left and right. By the end of this month you will hear a lot more about numerous OEM's adopting IBM TinyDrive as their source of storage for portable devices--and NOT Iomega 40MB Flop!
