Looks like Hitachi is producing enough of those 1-inch 6GB hard drives that they're now showing up in devices other than Zen Micros and iPod minis. I/OMagic, which already makes portable, USB-powered 2.2GB and 4GB GigaBank-branded drives, has announced a 6GB version, due out in May for about $200. That's about the same price that the 2.2GB version went for when it was released last year. (And, no, we don't know for sure that it's using the Hitachi drive, but we think it's pretty likely.)
