Waterproof I don't really need, but that Titanium might be what I'm looking for. I usually have problems with the physical connection between the USB socket and the body, but if they've gone to that extent to beef up the body, perhaps the connections are equally rugged. I might have to give it a try.

Thanks

A little more research - a retractable USB interface - congrats to the engineers.

"This thumbdrive seems to have finally addressed one of the biggest remaining problems concerning thumbdrives- extreme durability. This thing survived everything we tried, including stepping on it, dropping it literally hundreds of times, clamping it in a vise, and running it over with a 3000lb car, with only minor case deformation. This should allow users to finally stop worrying about whether their data will survive falling out of a window 10 stories high, for instance."

And 512MB for $35 after rebate - http://www.buy.com/retail/searchresu...search_store=1

(The cheapest I found the 1GB is $90).

One's on the way to me.....
