"The 1-inch drive market thus far has totaled 'a few hundred thousand drives, not the millions that were promised,' said veteran drive analyst Jim Porter of Disk/Trend.

"Cornice says its customer commitments include Thomson for its RCA Lyra Micro player, Rio for its Nitrus and Eigen MP3 players, and Samsung for its 'digital gadget' - a unit the size of a deck of cards that will snap pictures, store and play back video.... Magenis said he expects Cornice will be able to increase its drive capacity by 60 percent a year, about the same rate as PC hard drives. At that rate, the drive will be able to hold as much high-quality video as a DVD in 2 1/2 years."
