Default Super Tiny 1GB UBS thumbdrive

today microsoft had a campus tour speaker at SFU (my university)

i went there, the guy is pretty cool
his geek history predates windows btw

but hes a cool geek

showed us this insane gadget he got at the beginning of this year
1GB USB thumbdrive thats smaller than my thumb

i dont know about you but thats really tiny for a 1GB one

im trying to look for it now

he said he got it for around $150 CAD which is bizare
but hes got connections so its understandeable

anyways
could you guys post the smallest (physical dimentions) thumbdrives with the biggest memory there is in this thread
this is one popular item on a lot of techies' christmas wishlist
we can always use more USB thumbdrives
i know ppl that have like total of 20GB of thumbdrives around
and no that does not include CF cards or SD or those things

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...onics&n=507846 is much cheaper but I guess it's bigger?

I remember when future shop went out of business here... I was at the closing sale.. was like black friday... they gave you huge garbage bags and you could fill em up with whatever you wanted for like $25.. mostly junk left so I just took tons of crappy cd's and someother things.. was lots of fun though..

all of the drives you posted are still much bigger than the one i saw
it was about 1/4 smaller than the sandisk micro
it was just unbelieveably small


it had a blue flip cap that flips to the otherside of the drive when needs to hook up USB 2.0 port
it was just tiny
damn it i want that thing

1GB super tiny key
if i do get it, i might have a problem not losing it though lol

EDIT: ok i found something of similar size but still a tad bigger than the one i saw

also theres no 1GB for this trekstorusa thing
