Keian PSd waterproof SD/USB card

Japanese company Keian has introduced the PSd (Personal Storage disk) -- a waterproof/dustproof/shockproof SD card that, like SanDisk before them, doubles-up as a portable USB drive. Keian claims maximum read and write speeds of 13.5MBps and 11MBps respectively, in capacities from 128MB ($31) to 2 gig ($213). Makes the perfect gift for your peculiarly unwashed, sweat-effusing maladroit love-interest this Valentine’s day. Let's just hope it continues to function after you lose that little sliding nub, eh?

That's pretty cool. I'd be like, "Where do I sign up?" if not for that removable part. That's a deal-killer for me. I have enough tsuris worrying about wearing out the hinge on my SanDisk Ultra II card.

Well-well-well

Waterproof huh?

I guess that adds a whole slew of bad places bad people can hide their bad files.

I'd really like to buy one of these, anyone know where they're available?

Would it not work anymore if you lost the removable tab? cause that would really blow.

Bought one already! These PSd don't need the tab to be functional. And guess what? I tried it and it is REALLY 100% waterproof (my test equipment - Mom's washing machine; my test person - Mom; test environment - I forgot it in my pant pockets and Mom took it to the laundry; test result - product still works fine, no damage done).
