It would also be much easier on the wallet. </p> I think.. that it would be much easier to carry a wallet sized flash drive (with like 320 gb) in a briefcase (which most business men have).

I remember about 5 years back when Sony first introduced its 1gb memory stick, the local Sony store was selling it for $600! Within a couple years they were under $100, and now they're around $10. I doubt it'll even take very long for the price to drop; I recently purchased a 500gb portable hard drive for $89, and I know it was twice that price last year. Wait a bit and save your money...</p> It looks like a great flash drive, but unless it's something that a person absolutely needs today, I don't see a reason to pick it up until the price goes down.

I saw it on sale in Dubai three months ago at carrefour Stores for merely about Can$ 150. Nothing special. Also made in China.</p> Not true at all.

Being able to carry your external hard drive in your pocket would certainly command a premium but I can see how this would be worth it for some people, especially business traveller's who have a lot of data to carry around.</p> <p>That being said, I won't be buying anything like that until the price comes way down. Which it will, drastically, soon enough. I mean look at that 8 GB stick you're carrying. That was probably an outrageous price when they first came out, but how much are they now?</p> Sure, it's a little pricey but I wouldn't say it's astronomical.
