Male Contraception - is there a market for it?

Morning Edition had a piece today on forms of contraception for men that are currently in development, involving the man receiving testosterone shots. Here's another story on the topic, and a non-hormonal option for men.

My question is this: is there even a market for this? Women - would you give up your own methods of birth control and let the man be responsible? Men - are you even interested in being responsible for contraception? In some ways, this seems like a boon to single folks, if both partners are on contraceptives and can therefore further reduce the risk of pregnancy. However, I'm wondering if most women would insist on their own methods no matter what the men told them about their latest injection. I'm certain that I would. What do you think?
