Sticking out only 6mm from the connected device, the LaCie MosKeyto, pronounced like that pesky blood-sucking bug, is very small indeed.

Today LaCie spawns a new breed of USB key – the LaCie MosKeyto, an ultra-small flash drive that’s anything but pesky. Joining LaCie’s line-up of award-winning USB keys, MosKeyto ups the ante for power, portability and ease of use.

LaCie MosKeyto measures less than 20mm and weighs 10 grams, making it one of the smallest USB keys on the market. Offering capacities up to 16GB, you’ll be pleasantly amazed at how many bytes you can get from such a tiny MosKeyto.

The stealthy MosKeyto becomes nearly invisible when plugged into your computer, and can even travel with the computer in a protective sleeve or briefcase – just plug it, and forget it. Because it lies flush against your device, there is no risk of damage to the port, computer or key if the drive is knocked or bumped. Additionally, if it’s in your laptop, you won’t lose it.

Offered presently in 4gb and 8gb sizes at $17.99 and $27.99 respectively, this ultra-small USB flash drive definitely won’t get snagged while you’re moving around with your laptop.

Love those Gmail shortcuts but there are too many of them to remember? Someone obviously got to thinking that a standalone piece of hardware might be a better way to get things done. I’m guessing that a person would have to virtually live in there to make the Gmail keypad worth the money and desk space; but some people do.

Price: $20

I can remember my IBM PS/2 Model 20 having an Intel 286 processor and a massive 20mb hard drive. And yes… I also walked to school in the snow, uphill both ways in the cold wintery month of July- we didn’t even have summer off during those dark days called pre-USB.

Okay, I do remember those days, but I thought I was hot stuff taking around 8gb in my pocket. That’s bigger than a DVD, right?

Well, Kingston just takes what’s out there, even the recently announced 128gb USB Flash drive and shoves that aside with their newer, over $900 256gb USB Flash drive. That’s 54 DVD’s worth of storage. That’s 10 whole Blu-Ray movies worth of space… wow.

Kingston Technology Europe Ltd, a subsidiary of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, has launched the world’s first 256GB USB flash drive, the Kingston Technology DataTraveler® 300.
