    I really do think this is cool. i like the idea of being able to take info or pics to a friends house and when they got stuff plugged in you only have to use one connection. I also love the fact they are brightly colored. usually the slim ones get lost or fall in a crack somewhere you search and search and that inof you needed to take the office GONE. I wonder I see they make what lloks like a chain if you can wrap it through a keychain as well so when you rush off or something you just can just grab and go without picking up all the individual small stuff. It also looks like they bend so if something was bulky you could bend around it and still get in the USB drive. Yep keep us informed on this one. I like it alot.
