Iomega
Iomega had 2 new products, including one that was announced at PCExpo. The first product is called the Iomega Peerless.
The Iomega Peerless |
The Peerless is a pocket sized 10GB or 20GB hard drive with speeds up to 15MB/sec (With the FireWire version). There is a FireWire and USB 1.1 version, and a USB 2.0 version is being looked into. You can buy the unit with the base station at first, and if you want more drives, you can buy the drives for cheaper. Apparently Iomega was using the Peerless in the car using an LCD screen to show that it can provide up to 45 hours of near DVD-quality video or 700 hours of near-CD quality music, but I missed it.
Next up is the 250MB Zip drive. What's so new about this, it's been out for a long time now? It's now USB! Which means that it doesn't need to be plugged in, it's faster, and it's 10 times more convenient.

Acqis Technology, Inc.
Most likely you've never heard of Acquis but they make a great looking product. I haven't used it in the real-world, but from what they showed me, it looks very useful. What Acquis does is make this very small product that looks like a removable hard-drive. It is much more than that actually, it's an entire PC. It's only 1 pound yet fits a PIII 700, 128MB of RAM (Up to 256MB), a 20GB hard drive, and a 4MB video card. A representative showed me that motherboard that goes into this and it's amazing how they fit so much into such a small product.
Look how small this is |
They also told me about a new tablet computer that they are building, and they are planning to have it ready by Comdex time.
