Works well for ladies to carry around in their purse, however :P
quite interesting how they say its compatible with USB 3.0, i'm quite sure you cant call a USB 2.0 device USB 3.0 compatible (its moreso that the USB 3.0 port is USB 2.0 compatible)
to be compatible with USB3.0 it has to run at 3.0 speeds... how would you react to a "USB2.0 compatible" flash drive that only worked at 1.1 speeds? yeah, you'd take it back.
And it's not like it wasn't that long ago, it really was. LaCie has been making these key-shaped USB drives for a long time now and I must say, they even look more robust than these.
but i could really see these getting smashed or lost
