We don’t know what the deal is today, but several blogs have mentioned news about expensive flash drives.  I have to say, this is perfect timing of a product launch with the global economy in the tank.  I guess those guys with cash are looking for a bargin.  Doubt they’ll find anything here.

First off from Engadget, they report an 8GB flash drive over $800 USD.  Sure it’s got 8GBs of storage and made of beautiful looking Titanium house inside a sweet looking case, but do we need $100 per GB?

Next up we have Gizmodo with a report about a $500 Mahjong USB drive with 16GBs of storage.  At least the storage capacity has come up, but things drop again with the material being that of wood.  The Mahjong drive has the option for customized engraving of whatever you fancy.

Bottom line - unless your bottom line is full of green cash, I don’t think these drives are for you [certainly not me].
