IOGEAR's presentation mouse, 4GB wallet drive ready for class

We know, "back to school" isn't exactly a phrase that brings a smile to most students, but IOGEAR is hoping to get you a bit more jazzed up than usual about the fall semester with a new duo of products. Following the Digital Scribe, the firm has now unveiled a 4GB Flash Wallet Drive and 3-in-1 Wireless Phaser Presentation Mouse to presumably help you with your studies. The uber-thin wallet drive ($69.95) measures in at just 3-millimeters thick and ought to hold quite a few research papers, while the wireless mouse ($59.95) combines a laser pointer and track ball to aid you in making those presentations go as smoothly as possible. Both products should already be available at your campus store or nearby big box retailer.

I would get this if it was a tab bit cheaper (maybe $40?) Furthermore, I dont think that 3mm will be strong enough to survive the brutal position in my wallet...

so basically it's a 4 gig thumb drive/flash card that's ~$30 cheaper and 5-30 times the size. I wonder if the thing merely has a compact flash spec drive inside. If so it might be a better value to buy a flash card and an adapter.

It looks nice, but I'll stick to my keychain-sized version unless they blow out the capacity by quite a bit.

Ok... how is this better than my 4GB USB Drive that I got for 40 bucks from NewEgg?

I can't see the drive being of much use. You can get the equivalent Sandisk SD card with its own USB connector exposed by folding the card in half, and it's an order of magnitude thinner and smaller than this drive.
