just wanted to echo the convenience of this product. I had a 2gb for a while (lost) but I just loved having a jump drive basically installed on my laptop. I never had to carry anything extra on my keychain or in my bag.

Ideally: 8G flippy with Eye-Fi. I could partition it 4G for Ubuntu, 1G PortableApps, 3G for pictures nad have it all!

I swear by my 1GB flippy. Especially since Apple stubbornly refuses to add a card reader to the MacBooks… However, I just got my hands on Eye-Fi which could be my future.
