I really don't see a problem adding 3.1 oz to a wearable. I am assuming that you could build the OEM drive right into a small wearable case, and since it draws 3.3V you could wire it into your wearables' power supply (with a toggle switch in case it doesn't go to sleep on it's own well enough.) these specs look prety kewl. OEM Drive Dimensions Drive (LxWxH) 3.37in. x 2.126in. x .256in. (85.85mm x 54.2mm x 6.5mm) Drive weight (w/o Battery) 3.1 oz. (88gm) Clik!

Subject: Re: Small Storage Device Speaking of storage, the clik disc/catridges/whatever seem like a good idea. 40MB worth of data on a "disc" about 1.5" in diameter. This seems like the type of technology that would work well for wearables. Only problems though is that the read/write unit for the clik currently weighs about a pound. It can run off a rechargeable battery which is a plus though. If the read were able to drop in size so that you could plug the reader into a type I PC card slot, then slide the clik into the reader it would be perfect. Has any one here had experience with them? http://www.iomega.com/product/click/index.html On Wed, 24 Jun 1998, R. Paul McCarty wrote: > This looks really impressive.
