When I was reading a computer magazine at the dentist this weekend, I ran across another option for a USB flash drive. Edge makes the DiskGO! line of storage products, including a USB wrist watch. Available in 256, 512 mb, and 1Gb capacities. The 1Gb is only $79. Check it out here .

It has a little USB dongle that stores flush with the band when not in use. When you need it, pull out the dongle and hook it up to your computer's USB port. It appears as a removable drive. And the whole thing is water resistant to 100m to boot.

The main drawback for me is that it uses USB 1.1, which is signficantly slower than USB 2.0, so if you're routinely transferring large amounts of data over, it could take a while. However, if you're just storing infrequently changing files for an emergency, speed is not a big issue.

Other than that, seems like a great EDC option for data storage. Kind of James Bond-ish, actually. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
