Wow! OK, get the price down where I can afford one and everything will be cool. I like the price of the media though, about $35US to back up a TB of data is a great deal. If the writer is fast, the cards are re-writable, and dirable, a robot library of these buggers would quickly put the heat to DLT tape makers. In the nean time, if a sub $100US reader can be made this will be a boon to the video game market in a huge way.
The card capacity is expected to be 30 GB. The company aims to price the product around $1US. Optware also intends to set the price of a reader device lower than $2,000US and a reader/writer device lower than $10,000US.
