Have you ever broken off a usb thumb drive into your computer because the stick is to big and you bumped it the wrong way. This problem is made worse when it is in your car as there is a better chance of hitting it with you knee or smacking it with your hand as you go to change the song.
With more and more Car's coming with usb ports for listening to music and watching movies companies like Verbatim and Scosche are taking the next logical step. ultra small usb sticks that still pack allot of storage
I was only able to find the spec sheet on the Verbatim one:
• 8GB storage capacity
• Only 2g in weight
• Smaller than a Euro coin, only 5mm is left protruding when inserted
• Can be left semi-permanently in radios, laptops, netbooks, digital photo frames etc.
• Works with PC and Mac operating systems
It is only 17.15mm long x 14.85mm wide x 7.7mm deep, when inserted into the USB port only 5mm of the Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go Audio USB is left protruding.
These sticks have been on sale in Europe now for a month so this is old news there but us in north America don't get them till next month. No word yet on U.S. pricing, but the European version sells for 18 euros or about $26 USD.
