pqi U350 USB Flash Drive (techtree)

My first USB flash drive was China's product that brought direct from China by my friend, it was 2004 (sorry i forgot the product trademark). That device seems cool as it has 256KB capacity, can play mp3, sound recording and FM tuner just for US$15 when it cost US$73 in local store. But this product broken when i had been used it for a month. For now i use U350 CoolDrive (1GB) from pqi's Taiwan-based company, it is only can be used to store data but support Ur-Smart personal management software. I had been using it for more than a year. Very cool design and still works without any problem.

So many cool USB flash drive design out there, here are some of them:
