Imation has unleashed a new line of USB flash drives in the form of the Nano Flash. These will come in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB capacities without taking up much space in your pockets. It measures 1.7" x 0.6" x 0.4", featuring a 360-degree swivel cap that prevents the connector from being damaged when the flash drive is not in use, also making it nifty around to hook up to a keychain, lanyard or cell phone. While it is compatible on a basic level with Linux and Mac operating systems, the Nano Flash is most at home on Windows-based platforms (from 98 till Vista), featuring password protection support as well as drive partitioning and ReadyBoost (Vista only). Depending on the capacity, prices start from $15 all the way to $90.
