Where have you guys been for the past 2 or so years?
Heard of the Sony MicroVault Tiny? Those things are awesome, and are a hell of a lot smaller than anything else I’ve seen, much less this pinched loaf. You can get them on Amazon for the same price that you advertise these buggers.

I have a 1 gig and a 4 gig version of these, and since they are so stinking small I can store them in my wallet without even noticing them being there.

How on earth did you manage to get on the front page of Slashdot of all places?
This has got to be a joke.

At least have the professionalism to provide some details, with the blatant plug (and pretending you’re excited by something you’ve received money to feature on your “pro-blog”) – with marketing blurbs, I always assume absence of evidence to imply evidence of absence.

Is is M-cell or S-cell (or, in dumbo speak, is it Vista ready-boost compatible)? When flogging a storage medium, potential customers at least deserve to know the throughput speeds and any warranties. Or did your ‘components editor’ not learn that in his Media Studies 101?

Point taken Bob, first thing Monday I’ll take a few shots from different angles for you, including one actually in a USB slot.

You did a half-assed job on the pictures. It kind of looks fat (like it would take up 2 USB slots) but you neglected to show us a view from the side. Instead you show the drive next to a coin, the drive next to a lighter, and then the drive next to the coin again (but without the cap) all from the same direction.

I got 8gb for $35 from A data (www.adata.com.tw). It isnt rubberized or retractible but it has a cap and i dont worry about it in my pocket. Also doesnt block adjactent ports.

@Aryeh Goretsky

Your name is a blast from the past. I remember when you were in charge of the BBS for McAfee Associates

Back in the good ‘ol days.

Yes, it blocks access to adjacent ports. It is the same problem on the Corsair Voyager and VoyagerGT.

OTOH, it is durable as all heck, and waterproof (probably just to 1m of water but still…). So, it is still interesting

Hello,

ATP, KingMax, OCZ, PQI, SONY, SuperTalent and Transcend all offer USB flash drives in a similar form factor. While the rubberized coating is novel, it appears to extend out significantly on either side, which could block access to adjacent ports.
