Hello

Last year I've seen a VERY SMALL USB thumb drive being used by a
customer from the United States. But so far I couldn't locate this in
Germany.

I'll try to describe this and would like you to tell me the manufacturer
of such devices if you think you know them.

OK, here I go:

It was early 2004, the thumb drive had a capacity of 256 MB and it was a
USB 2.0 device. (I think a combination of features like that wasn't even
available here at all during early 2004, but I may be wrong.)
The physical size of the device was about the part of a human thumb
until the first joint if you start counting at the fingernail. The
device was also very thin. Maybe 2 or 3 mm. The last thing I remember
very well is that the connector was not the typical USB thumb drive
connector but it looked more or less like a piece of the thumb drive's
PCB without any kind of stabilizing stuff around it.

I'd appreciate if you could Cc your reply to my mail box.

thanks,

Thomas
