Smallest 16 GB USB Drive — Wink 4A

Memory maker Active Media is claiming their new USB flash memory drive is the “smallest 16 GB USB drive on the planet.” I don’t know about that but no question it is as small as can be. The hardest thing about using one of these drives will be not losing it. The drive comes in capacities from 2 GB to 16 GB, and is embossed with a “wink” emoticon, thus the name. I suspect they’ll be hearing from Sarah Palin’s people pretty soon.
