Iomega's Mini 1.5GB Disks
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 04:30 PM
Iomega isn't completely out of the market yet. They've developed a technology that might supercede the initial promise of the DataPlay that we talked about some time ago -- and this one has a chance to make it to market in 2004.
"Iomega has dubbed its new technology DCT for Digital Capture Technology, and it consists mainly of removable matchbook-sized discs. At first the discs look almost identical to the old PocketZip discs that formed the basis of Iomega's ill-advised foray into the MP3 music-player business way back in 2001. What's new is the capacity of the DCT discs, which tops out at 1.5 gigabytes versus the 100 megabytes of the PocketZip days."
