Never said it looked great or it was super compact or that it was cheap. Also never said it was the only retractable drive available. Basically I was just letting readers know about the availability. And the Kingston, while attractive and likely a better buy, was not released yesterday, hence why I devoted "all this space" to the M-Flyer.

Ok, take a look at this: http://www.kingston.com/flash/dtmini_migo.asp Way smaller, nicer looking, 2gb, and yes, retractable. I ordered directly from Kingston, but you can find them at many stores. Though not ReadyBoost ready, its a lot cheaper than the Memorex.
