[edit] Pocket hard drives

The timeline section of the article says that Seagate's pocket hard drive debuted "somewhere near the beginning of" 2005. Well, checking their news releases, the drives were unveiled in June 2004 [1], shipped in the US in October [2], became available in stores in Australia and Europe in December [3] [4], and were in stores in Japan in April 2005 [5]. Well, I didn't read the news releases themselves, but the titles look like they say this, at least. :P So, uh, what should the article say? --Peng 04:55, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Lots of interesting material here to draw from: http://money.cnn.com/2006/11/30/magazines/fortune/obrienseagate.fortune/index.htm

[edit] Possible Vandalism

This page has been restored from a previous edit from the same IP address. For those that may be interested, this is an IP for a school. (Thus explaining a large amount of vandalism orginating from the IP.) I apologize for any inconvenience that any students here may cause. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.170.244.174 (talk) 20:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recently sued

This is an interesting addition to the information in the wiki, and it sets a precedent in this case for how companies have been advertising the amount of hard drive space and the old 1000/1024 in a KB argument. I'll leave this to someone more capable of writing this into the article though :-) 87.194.44.145 17:51, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

The article kind of reads like a company brochure. I personally prefer Seagate drives, but dang. 151.151.21.104 (talk) 17:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
