The Sandisk Cruzer Blade is supposedly the smallest USB drive out there today, at least in north America anyway. I don’t see any actual specs in the pres release as to the actual size, just that it’s the size of the paperclip. paperclips though are varying sizes, and I’ve seen small USB drive like my Super Talent Pico drive.. So until i get my hands on one or get some actual dimensions I’m not saying anything else..
