Just bought myself an 8GB one of these. Very pricey, but very nice 😉
(Oh, and I didn’t notice any of the Vista compatibility problems mentioned in the comments to that review)
I have a feeling it might crop up in the Oracle blog soon.

What actual speed can you achieve with that little gem? Do you get the promised 18/25 MB/sec?
It looks good so far, but I haven’t tested it properly. It seems to vary with the type of activity as well.
Cool stuff. Would be very nice if you would be an addict for other gems like the ASUS Eee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC). That said, your USB addition is already 1/3 of the price of a Eee… My nephew will like it though…

hmmmmm… Like MLK, I have a dream:
being able to store an Oracle db in the elusive “RAID-5 USB key”!
It’s getting nearer and nearer.

As a former employee of Imagine I thought you might like this blog piece and the comments that follow:-
Bruce on Games
Thanks Jason, very interesting indeed to see Bruce blogging.
As I wasn’t one of the directors, I don’t think I’m in a position to comment on whether piracy caused the demise of Imagine 😉 but it looked to me like a combination of over-rapid expansion of the cost base, poor or no games being produced and financial mismanagement.
No, I wasn’t overly convinced either but, as somebody whose early interest in computing began with the Spectrum, I was fascinated by the back story to Imagine’s demise.
I too suspect the poor quality (or complete lack) of games – especially when compared to the games that the likes of Ultimate were producing – was one of the more likely factors.
I don’t recall rushing out with my hard earned paper round money to buy many Imagine games 😉.
