More USB Keys
From ShinyShiny, more cute USB toys. I want the Tinkerbell one. Sadly, not available in the US in this time.
It's strange to me that USB keys are common enough to be packaged as grown-up toys at the same time that sales people at places like Radio Shack tell me that there is no such thing as a 1GB USB flash device. Is the disconnect cultural? Marketing? Is a brick and mortar retailer just that far behind the wave? I casually shopped for a 1GB key to replace a broken 512 MB key (yes, you will break it if you plug it into the USB port of the front of the workstation under your desk and hit it repeatedly with your knee) as I strolled down 5th Avenue from the 40's to 23rd street, and no one, not even the gray market camera shops, had 1GB USB keys in stock.
