Tempted by the La Cie Skwarim portable hard drive

I stopped by the La Cie booth at MacWorld to take a look at the portable La Cie Rugged Hard Drive that Dave Caolo posted about. Although the Rugged Hard Drive did look tough enough to survive the beating I usually give to anything portable, another new portable drive also caught my eye–La Cie's Skwarim.

The Skwarim is appealing because it's small, lightweight, and cool looking. It fits in your hand at just 3.3 x 3.3 x .5 inches and a mere 3.5 ounces. Designed by renowned designer Karim Rashid, the Skwarim has a soft-touch cover with an etched grid design. It's got a hi-speed USB 2.0 bus-powered drive with a retractable USB cable. The 30GB model is hot pink, and the 60GB version bright blue. The former goes for $149.99 and the latter for $199.99.  Very tempting.
