I asked Sony this exact question, several months ago. Got no response. It
may
be that they want to go this direction, but aren't talking about it yet. It
amazes me that it would take them so long to release such a product.

Really? Wow. I thought everyone would have experienced this crap by now.
Basicly you put a Zip disk (usually in another machine than the one you
normally use it in) and instead of it reading, it just keeps
