ultra-tiny USB flash keys?

Access

A couple of years back, a lad i worked with came into work one day with a very small usb key (1GB) which cost him €100 at the time and it was half the size of THIS

That particular one is tiny, but his was half that length! and so thin, that it slid into the center of the usb port.

It was a cool yoke and now that prices have dropped on memory keys in general, i would love to track one down. Ive tried ebay and the lad who had one told me the web site he purchased it from, but for the life of me, i cant remember the address.

Does anyone know the site or where i can source one?

Ps. (it was a usb key and not a micro sd card)

I saw a 1gb one in PC World (Galway) the other day for 20euro. Tiny little thing.

I've used this before

they're very small but they have there downfalls they are prone to getting snapped my did out of my laptop and this one has no eye for a keyring only a pouch for your keys.

i now have this one which i find brilliant

Its protected still smaller but a little wider and its neater i find and just works better.

For 100euro your having a laf i wouldnt spend over 25 on anything they can be had for nothing

Ebuyer are good, but postage to Eire can be a pain in the butt. If you have a Uk or Northern Irish address you can you use then you're away in a hack....

On the subject of ultra-tiny USB dongles, check out this bluetooth adaptor: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12696

It'd be class to have a flash key that size...although maybe a bit too easy to lose.

The crucial is cheaper for 4GB at $18 and the brand is way better
