Is That 8 GB in Your Pocket?

Is That 8 GB in Your Pocket?
USB keychain drives are great, but I seldom have a need to carry less than a gigabyte of files around. I have a drawer full of these things that were given to me as PR tchatchkies over the years, but more often than not I still just e-mail files from place to place; and if I really need more storage, I'll stick the files on my iPod. Now Transcend's new 8GB JetFlash drive looks like a pretty solid alternative to both methods. Ringing in at a hefty $612, this drive ain't likely to be given away as a brand promotion anytime soon, but if you really need to lug some data around everywhere you go, this looks like the way to do it. (But be warned: transferring 8GB of data to a USB flash drive can take a looooooong time.)
