2nd Prize: Super Teeny Tiny 16GB USB Drive



Teeniest flash drive around
Geeks, who have been around for long enough, remember their first hard-drives. Some remember their first gigabyte, others remember forty megabytes while even some remember luggage-sized 5 meg drives. It continually shocks us when newer and smaller storage is made available, and we get all giggly when it happens. No exception, this little drive is the smallest we've ever seen. Barely bigger than the tip of your pinky, and less than 4mm thick, it's positively small. The polished chrome finish is certainly shiny, but at 16 gigabytes, it's redonkulously teeny! Store up to eight full length ripped movies, ten days worth of music, more than eight-thousand 5 megapixel photos, or one-hundred-sixty-meters worth of shelved books. Sure, it's so small you could easily lose it, it includes a chain to help keep it around.
