Oh yeah, these things get really hot too in a short space of time. ]]>Mar 15th 2007 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=007118&cid=990.420
They're okay. But a little too small for my liking. I am always afraid of losing it.]]>Mar 15th 2007 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/Mar 16th 2007 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/Mar 15th 2007 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/Yeah, just like the silly microSD format that Brian White seems to think should be included with every device.

Sure, these "smallest" USB drives are an impressive feat, but they're hardly practical. Too easy to lose, too easy to snap in half.]]>Mar 15th 2007 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/Mar 16th 2007 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000JWTQLI/ref=ord_cart_shr/104-0572707-7414347?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=A2JDMO6KD2GDJR&v=glance]]>Mar 15th 2007 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/Mar 16th 2007 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/Mar 16th 2007 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/

What I don't get is why do we need SD or CompactFlash cards then? Why can't camera manufacturers just put a USB port inside their camera and use naked sticks such as these? They're no bigger than SD cards and way smaller than CF cards.]]>Mar 16th 2007 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/breakable!!!
Still cute though.

Yep I agree : Sandisks sd cards are waay smaller.
I use the 1 gig version in my palm and transfer to mac and PC smaller than a postage stamp.

You're right, the SanDisk Ultra II w/ USB is much smaller. I have a few of these.

And for dude that asked how it fits: It actually goes INSIDE the metal sleeve on the usb connector.]]>Mar 16th 2007 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/Mar 16th 2007 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/

Not new, but still totally awesome.

I have 2 of these cards, and there's 2 versions that I know of. The white ones are standard, and go to high capacities, and there are blue ones that are high speed but they capped out at 2GB last I remember. I have a 128MB white one(it was free) and a 1GB blue one; the blue one is pretty fast and you can run pocket apps off it fine. The part where the hole is will break off over time though, so I have to use a memory card folder/wallet in my bag. It's damn tough though, and I can't imagine anybody snapping or breaking it(the main storage part) unless they do something reeeeally stupid or intentional.

The best thing is that it's perfect for creative flash drive projects like Playmobil person flash drives 'n such.]]>Mar 18th 2007 11:19PM
