[olug] from slashdot: Credit Card-Size Hard Drive Can Hold 5GB

I Agree,  Im too hard on my CCs as it is.  They get bent just being in my
wallet in my back pocket.  I doubt that a hard drive could stand up to that
abuse.  Now if it was a solid-state device, that would be a whole different
story.  Would be very pricey too.

  I don't like the idea that it is a spinning disk.  I'm rough on credit
card sized devices.  Personnaly I would like to see a solid state type
device. Too much data on a volitile, portable format...not a great idea to
me.  If someone gave it to me to play with, I could come up with some uses,
but I wouldn't trust it in my wallet.
