    Some of you might remember this...

    Well I saw one today and decided to give it a go... :p It is retractable, and I must say, it is tiny! 32x16x7mm! Cost me HKD145 which is around $18USD.

    As you can see, it performs pretty well. Here are a few thoughts...

    - Doesn't plug in too smoothly and feels like as if it would snap.
    - I can loose it any second
    - Can be easily put into wallet or used as a key ring.

    It also comes with a light weight partition software, from this you can create a password partition of any size you want. Extremely simple interface, the no non sense and simple as possible type that looks like its from windows 95. :D

    That is seriously, really, really small. God, I'm starting to hate my SanDisk cruzer micro now - huge monstority that doesn't work properly since its such a pain to stick it into USB ports.

    hey, what's powerpack doing in your pics? :p

    That thing is so small, it'd probably snap in 1/2 if I put it in my pocket.
