Thinnest USB Flash in the world, really?

So, it's just another boring USB memory card. And it's only 4 GB capacity. And it costs a whopping $25 from TopTechProducts. So... is it Cool?

Actually, we don't even think it's the thinnest card ever; we've been given promotional USB cards made of card(board) which were definitely no thicker. Well, no, we didn't measure it, what do you take our team for, boring techies?

The point of this toy, really, isn't to make you and me buy it. It really isn't. It's designed for people like the chief of PR for Cisco, or for the marketing boss of IBM, and they'll hand them out as party favours at press conferences or internal promotional seminars, or incentive meetings.

But it's on the TopTech web site, so clearly, they don't understand this.
