Sony offers tiny USB drive in neon hues

by Erica Ogg

It's cute and colorful and it's Sony's tiniest USB drive yet. It's called--what else?--the Micro Vault Tiny.

The drive, which measures about half an inch by an inch, comes in neon shades of pink, green, purple and orange, and sizes ranging from 256MB to 2GB. Sony says the 2GB drive, which sells for $109, can store up to 500 MP3s or high-definition images, or five hours of MPEG-4 video.

If you're the type who loses miniature gadgets, each drive comes with a matching candy-colored carrying case and strap. Sweet.
