If anyone is in IT for a living (like me), you'll probably find the isostick to be an incredible time-saver. It's a USB drive that uses microSD and presents as both a USB stick and a USB CD drive. The BIOS lets you boot off an .ISO as if it were a true CD-ROM, so no more messing around with boot loaders and whatnot to boot various OSes for installation (or things like UBCD, RIPLinux, etc).
I've had one for a while (since the Kickstarter run) and it's great. Firmware upgradable for new features, has a read/write lock switch, takes a 64GB microSD so it can be used for data as well as ISOs.
They are back in stock at Amazon right now -- no idea how many. I hadn't posted about them until now because they were sold out for a while.

Here's the Kickstarter page, for anyone interested in how it all went down:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...in-a-usb-stick
