Ken - I notice that the press release says that the 80MB flash card will be available "in production quantities to OEMs" for about $200 each. Wonder what that will mean in terms of cost to consumers. There is no indication of what the 128MB card will cost, but one has to assume it will be around 30% more. That will probably put the 128MB card above $300 at retail. The release also says "Production of 128MB CF+ card is scheduled in April, and 320MB card will be sampling by 2nd half of 1999." That doesn't sound like they are "rolling out now." But of course, Iomega's current products must always compete against other companies announced future products. - Allen

>>That works out to what.... 3 Clik! disks? << Um.... I think you kind of forgot about a little thing called a Flop! drive, which costs $249 for the digital camera version. I think you would experience certain technical problems without this when trying to use Flop! disks. It's laughable that Iomaniacs try and pass off Flop! as an inexpensive solution, and almost always forget to include the price of the drive when figuring costs associated with Flop!
