Things can only get smaller

Western Digital, maker of computer hard drives, has just announced the imminent launch of a tiny (in physical size) 6 gigabyte USB hard drive. The USB connector swivels to give extra flexibility, and the box is a mere 45.7mm x 61.1mm x 9.5mm - smaller and thinner than a matchbox. It will ship next month in the US at $129.9. (£84).
