FlashDisc

Juniper Foo | Mar 17, 2006

Looks like a floppy. Behaves like flash. Presumably, this one's called FlashDisc since FlopDisc sounds rather dire. This strange amalgamation of flash, USB interface and floppy offers anywhere from 16MB to 32MB of storage, which sounds rather measly given today's 2GB media cards. However, its genesis arose from a response to market research identifying what could be an unmet consumer need "for small, easy-to-use, rewritable media with storage density higher than floppy diskettes, but lower than that of personal USB flash drives". Only time will tell if market research holds true when the FlashDisc launches some time in the next two months.
