Pocketec's Nano 12GB USB 2.0 hard disk drive
There was a time we'd fawn over 12GB of hard disk storage in package this small. But 16GB flash drives already pop for about $150 on-line. Still, it's always good to see Seagate's 1-inch drive rolled out as product. The Pocketec Nano goes 38×48×15-mm / 48-grams and brings a USB 2.0 connector which discretely folds into the unit. Yours for 195,000KRW or $210. Puh-lease... it's not even waterproof.[Via AVING]
