sony_sandisk_vault_micro_sd_flash_drive_2gb_4852
I think that's small enough. Amazing how technology is going. Unthinkable a couple of years ago. As for price the sony micro vault (top) 2gb only cost me $19.99 where as a couple of years ago was $69.99.
The micro SD (middle) which I use for my LGenV phone cost only $27.99 on amazon.
I say keep lowering prices, increase storage but easy on the size.

Pelosi slammed for 'hypocrisy'
Already in her first hundred hours?
Why wasn't this in the main stream media hmmm.
A special exemption in the nation's proposed new minimum wage law could benefit a company headquartered in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district, and several Republican members of the U.S. House are objecting.
But while the proposed change in law adds American territories to the minimum wage requirements for the first time, American Samoa remains exempt. That's where Del Monte's brand name StarKist tuna has a huge plant, employing thousands of workers who would have been affected by inclusion in the minimum wage plan.

Iraq's economy is growing strong
For those pessimists here is something you will probably not hear on big media.
Taken from a article I found on Newsweek International by Silvia Spring
Click on paragraph below for full article.
Civil war or not, Iraq has an economy, and—mother of all surprises—it's doing remarkably well. Real estate is booming. Construction, retail and wholesale trade sectors are healthy, too, according to a report by Global Insight in London. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports 34,000 registered companies in Iraq, up from 8,000 three years ago. Sales of secondhand cars, televisions and mobile phones have all risen sharply. Estimates vary, but one from Global Insight puts GDP growth at 17 percent last year and projects 13 percent for 2006. The World Bank has it lower: at 4 percent this year. But, given all the attention paid to deteriorating security, the startling fact is that Iraq is growing at all.

Cookie-Scented Ads Cause Stink
'Got Milk' Ads Removed From Bus Stops After One Day Due To Complaints
City officials ordered CBS Outdoor, the company that holds the advertising contract for its bus shelters, to remove the adhesive strips Tuesday, just one day after they were put up as part of a "Got Milk?" campaign.The Municipal Transportation Agency canceled the plan after some residents raised objections. "We got complaints," said MTA spokeswoman Maggie Lynch. "It is controversial."
Some critics expressed concern over potential allergic reactions. Others complained the ads could be offensive to the poor and homeless who can't afford to buy sweet treats.
(Looks like city officials here have a lot of toime on their hands.)
