16GB Flash USB Dongle

Derek Dongle writes "This is great — Toshiba plans to bring out a limited edition 16GB USB dongle. What would you do with 16GB in your pocket? Who knows? As the writer of this story says, "It may be one of the occasional cases of: who cares? It's a 16GB USB drive that fits in your pocket and weighs 12 grams!" I'm not quite sure I want to call it a dongle. At 8x2 cm it's not the smallest thing to attach to a keychain. But at 16 GB you could keep a good bit of your life there, provided you aren't working in audio or video. I keep a 1GB stick on my keychain, which is enough for almost anything.

    Why this is simply ridiculous! 640k should be good enough for any pocket!

    My one flashdrive is only 4cm long...
    I wouldn't go around announcing that in public, especially where there may be ladies.

    Oh wait... nevermind :)

    Is that 16GB of porn in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
