Any Zip left in storage?

Iomega is unveiling a new $180 750Mb Zip drive for USB 2.0, with a $200 FireWire version due at MacWorld Paris next month. But, as an analyst quoted by News.com points out: "A drive that offers less than 1GB storage appears to be an anachronism in a market where I can buy external hard drives that offer 5GB, 10GB or 20GB of storage for a few hundred dollars." Especially when most of us can now burn CDs, even DVDs, from the desktop.
