    Considering my largest flash drive is 2GB, I'm probably overdue for an upgrade. This thing looks cool, but I too would be worried about losing it.

    Glad it has a lifetime warranty because lots of these super tiny USB flash devices have or develop errors very quickly.

    Too bad the warranty does not cover being lost or stolen. XD

    Eh... I need my thumb. My pinky finger however... hmmmmmmm...

    On that note, if I ever had to have a finger amputated, I'd probably want a prosthetic that doubled as a screwdriver or flash drive. =p

    Specs?

    USB 3 means a useless gimmick if the drive can't use the extra bandwidth in the first place (duh).

    Read\Write specs please, otherwise a waste of a news article.

    Not at all... It's a news article, not a review. You've been given the news about it, now go forth and find the specs. yourself.
