"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. The industry is awaiting the arrival of 'shirt-pocket computers with voice recognition - the grandsons of the Palm - as the app that could see the drives take off', he said.

"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."
