Make sure you read the cart label-clever :)

Haha, I'd love to have one of those for work ... the only problem is, by looking around my desk area here, I don't think that would fit into ANY of my USB ports. My laptop's docking station has two, one on the side and one in the back, neither of which would accept the width of that cart. My Dell workstation has the USB port "inset" on the front. Cool idea, just needs to be a bit more practical.

That's cool, reminds me of an atari version of the iPod shuffle.

It would be really cool to have them make that thing playable, either as some sort of console or handheld--with USB rom loading/flashdrive ability; the wonderful look of the thing totally lends to the appeal of having a portable solid state device.

Impractical? Perhaps. Swanky? You bet! Big is the new small!

I'm going to make a judgment call here and lock the other one and leave this one open, simply because all the conversation is in this thread.

I guess my subject wasn't catchy enough.

Maybe people got distracted by Durst's "O" face ... ;)

That was Durst? I thought it looked like Michael Stipe. O_O

I don't have a USB port in the front of my PC and so I connect my USB flash to a USB extension cord. It works just fine. Maybe you could something like that.
