A Japanese company - Transcend - has decided that USB flash drives need to have a lot of space, and that's why they came up with the 8GB version, which is probably one of the top products (in terms of storage space) on the market right now, and also beats their previous 4GB version.

If you know Japanese you might want to take a look at the Press Release available at Transcend's site, I couldn't find an english version.

Actually there is a Transcend Online Store, that gives a bit more of information about this new product. Let's see... the size and the weight should be about the same as the previous 4GB version - 88mm x 33mm x 15mm and 24g (not sure about these sepcs, it's not clear in their website).

The features are almost all the same for devices like this nowadays...

• LED indicates the usage status of JetFlash


• Boot-Up Function:Can make JetFlash bootable device


• Security Function:Password protection provided

And the best thing about it accessories (see image below) also come with an amazing Neck Strap!~

The price is $612.00 untaxed, so do your maths and see what's the real price.

Order and see more information at the product's site.
