Not the new bad guy in Quake, OROM is a new storage technology called "optical read-only memory." Designed to hold music, video games, and PIM software, OROM is a creation from the fellows at Ioptics that may well do for handheld devices what the CD did for desktop systems, according to the CEO of Ioptics. OK, so what else is he going to say? OROM can give handheld devices up to 128mb of storage on an itty bitty diskette. OROM promises low cost, comparatively large storage capacity, and portability. Ioptics has released devices for the consumer market, but until they find a way to make OROM disks rewriteable, they may never be much more than a curiosity.
