Defies the principle of an easily portable storage device. How is it going to look hanging from a keyring when full?

LOL it looks so funny when it's full. The idea is very nice - you can tell whether it is full or not by looking at it.
Very funny thing

That's pretty funny. If that can be done, why hasn't anyone made a flash storage device which simply shows you what % space is remaining?

I dunno about that. Some people have a wad of keys and trinkets so large this one would probably be lost in the mix.

Most flash mp3 players do that, as well as TravelDrive ID usb stick.

I guess that the answer is: they made it for fun rather than being a real and practical device.

Well, weirdan is right, that one does it. Perhaps I haven't looked hard enough, but that would be quite practical.

Sweet. I want one.
This forum generally lacks humor.
