HipZip
Iomega introduced an mp3 player called the HipZip yesterday, and it’s not as cool as it could be. Basically, it acts as a drive on your machine, and when you unplug it, it can play the mp3s. The disks can hold up to 40MB, and can actually be used to store anything at all. My question is this: Why didn’t they just make it read the Zip 250 disks? You’d then have 250MB of space, more than just about any mp3 player on the market, it would boost sales of the struggling Zip 250 drives and disks… I would actually buy it. But they just make you buy all new technology, and it probably won’t last too long.
