The Taiwanese company PQI has introduced an interesting flash drive – PQI U510. This flash drive is just 3 mm thick and can be compared with a credit card size – 85x54 mm. Naturally, it will be comfortable to carry the drive in the wallet with other cards. At the same time it can store 16 GB of data.
There is USB 2.0 interface for data transfer to other devices, the USB-connector is sliding, so you can hide it when the flash drive is idle. There is no info on the exact release date and approximate price so far. As you can see on the picture provided by the Korean source AVing there is an alternative design of the drive with football theme, so we can assume the release of PQI U510 will take place by the World Football Championship.

The analytical company In-Stat predicts that this project will have enough potential for UMPC annual shipments to reach 7.8 million units by 2011. I’d remind you that a UMPC combines the functionality of PC, small form-factor and touchscreen control.
