...didn't even last the weekend. Starting with a nationally televised retreat from his pledge by Hashimoto on Sunday, Japanese officials have executed an impressive flip-flop.

I hadn't heard of the more capacious and competitively priced SuperDisk by Imation, nor did I know about Sony's upcoming (and as yet unpriced) HiFD and Caleb Technology's UHD 144 (less than $100). I didn't bother to look into Iomega's Jaz (less than $300) or SyQuest...
