I remember Maxell from back in the day, I used to have countless cassettes with their brand name plastered on it. Well, yesterday they showed off their latest flash memory devices. The most interesting one is their 16GB USB flash drive that also has a built-in microSD card slot on it, which is pretty amazing. Someone has probably thought of this before, but this is the first time I'm hearing about something like this and it definitely amazes me. Good job Maxell!

It took me a while to find it - even in this picture. The new EagleTec USB Nano flash drive is extremely tiny, measuring at just 19 x 15 x 6mm. This USB drive weighs just 3 grams, has 4 and 8GB models and has 15Mb/s read rates and 6Mb/s write speeds. It's pretty impressive, but I wonder how hard it is to take the sucked out, especially with oily chicken-grease hands. This USB drive is now available for $22 USD (4GB) and $33 USD (8GB), which I think is a sweet deal.
