OCZ has announced a new USB 2.0 flash drive optimized for Windows Vista.

The new VBoost also features a retractable USB connector and will come in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB models. No pricing on these new items yet, but we still have to wonder how cost effective these can be compared to an actual RAM upgrade.
