Why dont more companies work tords making thumbdrives small enough that you can actually cary one arround with you on your keychain?

I mean everyones excuse for the huge drives is that you can't loose it... How often do you loose your keys?

you have to be kidding right? i have a 2gb cruzer micro and its small enough to carry on my keychain, in fact, i do. my entire life is on that drive. i have all of my school work on it and because its u3, all of my programs are on there too.

You'd be surprised how many people lose their keys. I used to work at a grocery store that uses 'club cards' for savings, you'd be surprised how many people LEAVE their keys at/near the cash register.

Though taken on average, most people that shop at grocery stores are inherently dumb, being that they are suckered to do the shopping by their more intuitive spouse/room-mate ;)

Smaller flash drives are always good, that just means you can get one the size like they are now, with more capacity. Or a smaller one period. Wins on both ends. More research put into smaller solutions for flash memory, the better. Not just smaller though, but much larger capacities. I want to see a 30-gig iPod Nano in the next few years, damnit!

By the way, I carry a USB flash drive (of a 2-gig flavor) on my keychain and it's fine....just about the size of a key, actually. :/
