That's not entirely accurate. It's not that Zip and Zing isn't being sold
"anymore," but rather it was never created or sold in the first place.

The theory of Zip and Zing was that it would cache all the applications in a
ramdisk on the card, which would speed up switching between applications. Due
to technical difficulties, the idea of Zip and Zing never made it into
reality.
