iriver rolls out discreet Domino flash drives

iriver sure does know how to cut away the excess on its products, and it looks like its new Domino flash drive is no exception. Available in 2GB and 4GB capacities, this one packs one of those sliding USB connectors that iriver seems to be increasingly fond of these days, and is available in your choice of white, silver, black, chocolate, pink or coral pink color options. No word on a release 'round these parts, unfortunately, but those in Korea can apparently get their hands on one now for the local equivalent of $21 or $34, depending on the capacity.

These look cool.

[Minilap @ Jun 17th 2008 2:20PM]

God I wish I was born in Japan or Korea.

[RichardBronosky @ Jun 17th 2008 4:05PM]

This looks better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171358

This is what I use as a flash drive. I bought it because I had a Sanyo Exacti that record to SD, but it's so dang useful that I keep it in my wallet.

I've seen lot's of those "world's smallest flash drive" stories and none of them are as small as an SD card.

Rank me up!

[Habitual Cheetah @ Jun 17th 2008 2:04PM]

Great job! =]

[Low Ranked @ Jun 17th 2008 2:06PM]

Can I have my 5 bucks now?

[David Z. @ Jun 17th 2008 3:06PM]

No, THIS is easy to lose:

[CapWKidd @ Jun 17th 2008 6:15PM]

I have had a Sony Micro Vault for over a year now... what is the big deal?

[Habitual Cheetah @ Jun 17th 2008 2:08PM]

Sure, you know where to meet me.

[Habitual Cheetah @ Jun 17th 2008 2:08PM]

aww that was supposed to be to be for you low ranked

[Loun @ Jun 17th 2008 2:09PM]

I will be the envy of my class when I bring this little thing out!

[pina @ Jun 17th 2008 2:10PM]

That's what he said?

[Dan @ Jun 17th 2008 2:39PM]

Buuuttttt Slam!!!!!

on 97.1 Quahog!

[M3Ls @ Jun 17th 2008 2:44PM]

lol thanks for the laugh while helping a client over the phone. haha.

[shimmy shimmy yah @ Jun 18th 2008 2:47AM]

jenkins you son of a bitch, that was hilarious

[Anthony @ Jun 17th 2008 2:09PM]

Wow. I love it. But 4gb? That seems like the min to me. What about 8 & 16? Maybe their target market won't support it, but I'd really like to have that on a keyring. Much better than the big Kingston I've got now.

[Flashpoint @ Jun 17th 2008 2:17PM]

4GB is minimal?

Apple didn't think so when they made the iPhone.

[Anthony @ Jun 17th 2008 2:24PM]

Flashpoint- they did pretty soon after it went to market. Don't forget- the 4gb iPhone is dead, dead.

[BuddyBoy @ Jun 17th 2008 2:30PM]

Yup iPhoneis 8 and 16 just like our flash drives should be..... at least minimum. I want 32 and 64GB!!



P.S. I know i'm greedy

[RichardBronosky @ Jun 17th 2008 4:18PM]

@flashpoint, give the size of this 8GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208420 I'd say that in that HUGE space they should be able to cram at least 32GB.

If you are looking for a good tiny multipurpose flash, try this out:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211152
Serves as a flash drive, SD card, and micro SD card. 2GB for $12

Engadget is so focused on "what's coming" that they fail to notice "what's here"!

[Astrostream @ Jun 17th 2008 2:17PM]

I like the Macbook in the picture.

[Bassir @ Jun 17th 2008 2:20PM]

Flash drivers are still too expensive.

[Ian @ Jun 17th 2008 2:32PM]

what sir are you smoking? i remember when a 2 gig was 60 bucks. so i say to you GOOD DAY

[Dan @ Jun 17th 2008 2:40PM]

For real....what are you smoking???

Flash drives are cheap as hell now.

[M3Ls @ Jun 17th 2008 2:45PM]

Can I have whatever you are smoking?

[M3Ls @ Jun 17th 2008 2:45PM]

Can I have some of what you're smoking??????

[Bassir @ Jun 17th 2008 2:50PM]

I'd rather not say what I'm smoking...

[bk7 @ Jun 17th 2008 2:54PM]

My first Sandisk 1 gig cost me £35.
I have no regrets.

[BuddyBoy @ Jun 17th 2008 5:39PM]

Wow you all bought cheap, I spent over £100 or $200 for a 1GB about 5 years ago!

[SoloSalsa @ Jun 23rd 2008 6:21PM]

I remember when the first four-gig cost over nine-hundred USD.

[darkstar @ Jun 17th 2008 2:28PM]

the PQI are the smallest ones i have ever seen. i got the one where u can wear it as a necklace. got a pink 2gb for 10 bux on valentines day for a girl. hahaha

[toxicpiano @ Jun 17th 2008 2:29PM]

Wow that looks gorgeous

[MattyG @ Jun 17th 2008 2:47PM]

WANT!

seriously, give it to me now!!!

[Nick @ Jun 17th 2008 2:50PM]

I can't read that, how do I get one! :P Do they ship to the states?

[Jeff @ Jun 17th 2008 3:18PM]

very sexy

[Jeff @ Jun 17th 2008 3:28PM]

I like.

[Eh @ Jun 17th 2008 3:55PM]

domino mother#$^&%!

someone had to say it

[Jason @ Jun 17th 2008 3:57PM]

I'm troubled by all the people who find a domino sexy. That's odd and unsettling.

[Jash Sayani @ Jun 17th 2008 4:10PM]

Expensive compared to a normal Kingston Data Traveler !!!

[blarvh @ Jun 17th 2008 4:36PM]

PQI has drives smaller than this. And cheaper.

[admin @ Jun 17th 2008 4:49PM]

I have the 4GB Kingmax "smallest flash drive in the world." It's been extremely fast for me, and it's just impressive to other people. I keep it in my wallet, about as thin as a credit card. I would love for a company to make a USB drive that is just as thin, the size of a credit card to keep in wallet, but bigger in capacity.

[meist3r @ Jun 17th 2008 6:33PM]

I got two of these: http://www.transcend.nl/products/ModDetail.asp?ModNo=181

Each 2GBs and I bought one for 7€ through the web and the other one was 9€ in store. This thing had been on Engadget months ago but it seems the US don't get them. Don't ask me why.

[salut @ Jun 17th 2008 8:41PM]

sexy looking laptop, too. what model is it?

[Sintek @ Jun 17th 2008 11:32PM]

Much smalled and cooler and very cheap i have one 4GB awesome

[ard buijsen @ Jun 18th 2008 3:37AM]

Okay, iRiver made a product which puts the coolness of Apple design in the shade. This is extremely cool design. Probably the most minimalist design ever for a flash drive. Where can I buy these?

[blu36uy @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:40PM]

May I recommend the Pico series from Super Talent... specifically the Pico_C. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=250356
I have the 8GB Pico_C, it's super tiny, stays connected to my keychain, and I haven't lost it yet :)
