What I'd really like to know is how two entirely different manufacturers got to thinking about novel enclosures for a USB drive, and both said, "A duck! That's the ticket!!!"

When I think about USB, storage, computers, etc... ducks do not immediately spring to mind. In fact, I'd venture to say that a very long time would need to pass before I began to associate ducks and technology. Am I the only one, or is it that I was simply waterfowl-deprived in my youth?

Errr, back to the topic at hand. Michael, I don't know off the top of my head who the mfg is, and Google isn't turning up much. I know there a company in Taiwan called Zippy that makes similar products, but I don't think this is one of theirs. I've never actually seen one with a built in 6 in 1 reader and a USB hub (usually it's one or the other).

FWIW, the price is comparable with the Zippy keypads...
