Looking to leave no corner of your gadget bag untouched by its license to cash in, Sony is following up its Bond-themed
laptop/digital camera bundle with a 007-branded
Micro Vault USB drive. Available in only a 1GB model (Q would definitely not approve), the drive sports a sleek piano black finish and comes pre-loaded with the Casio Royale movie trailer, as well as four 1,920 x 1,080 Bond-related wallpaper images. Other than that, however, it's a standard Sony flash drive, with the trademark retractable USB connector and Virtual Expander compression software to squeeze as much data as possible onto the drive. No word on how much of a premium it'll cost you over a regular Micro Vault, if any, but it should be available sometime before the movie's premiere later this month.

Not even a built-in laser pointer? Hmm.
Daniel Craig? Why the hell did they go with Daniel Craig?
Just nitpicking...but....you misspelled Casino Royale. Anyways, its a nice buy....especially since it doesn't have such a high premium for the branding, like the 007 Laptop/Camera Bundle
woot CASIO FTW!!!!
A bit misleading to call it a "vault" if you can't lock the data on it, no? I see no mention of included encryption software. Q would have an issue with that too. Looks quite sharp though! /airwhale
"Q would definitely not approve"
Ahaha, I love engadget..
"Not even a built-in laser pointer?"
But it does have a hidden spring-loaded grappling hook, right?
But will it burst into flames if caught by the enemy? Or is that Sony feature limited to batteries only?
