New 4GB Flash Drive Packs Quite a Punch 119
PCPro has a neat little tidbit about a new flash drive from Corsair. This little drive, only half the size of a lighter, packs a punch with 4GB of data storage and a very reasonable price tag (approx $32 USD). "When a Corsair rep turned up at Dennis Towers yesterday he told us he'd brought something pretty special to show off. We were therefore distinctly underwhelmed when he said it was ... a flash drive. But this flash drive needs seeing to be believed. It's been passed all round the office, where it's invariably been greeted with ooohs and aaaahs of grinning appreciation."

I just bought an 8 Gig drive for $39 USD, so the price isn't amazing. No MP3 player or slot for an SD card, nothing really technologically innovative...
We need an actual "products review" section (products.slashdot.org) in order to filter out such stories when you're not in a shopping mood.

What do you like about it? It's not a particularly interesting article, and the product being showed off is not particularly advanced, cool, or really, not much of anything compared to other similar products. I mean, you can get 8GB flash drives that are smaller than that, and the size and capacity are the only thing going for this product.
Really, either the editor doesn't know what's top of the line these days, or Slashdot's getting paid to insert product advertisements as stories. Not being much of a conspiracy theorist myself, I believe it's the former. Nevertheless, it still makes it a bad "story" to post.

What I want is a Corsair Cruzer Titanium in a 16GB or 32GB size.
(I like my little 2GB Cruzer Titanium. It hangs off my keychain and is surviving very well on a day-to-day basis.)
