SanDisk announced today an 8 GB model of its popular Cruzer Micro USB flash drive, double the largest capacity previously available in the Cruzer Micro line. Only two inches long, a half-inch thick and weighing less than half an ounce, the 8GB Cruzer Micro nonetheless can hold a massive personal library - 1,600 ultra-high-resolution digital pictures, 2,000 digital songs or five hours of high-quality home video.

Cruzer Micro packs an impressive list of features into a small package:

• A sliding USB connector means there's no cap to lose, and the connector is protected from damage when the drive is not in use.  
• The slider switch is illuminated by an amber LED light when the drive is active, making it easy to see - when the light goes out - that it's safe to unplug the drive.  
• U3T Smart Technology for running applications directly from the drive, without those applications having to be installed on the computer. U3-compatible software provided free with Cruzer Micro includes the PC phone service SkypeT, SanDisk's own CruzerSyncT for synchronizing files between a PC and the drive, the password manager program SignupShieldT Passwords from Protecteer, and a trial version of McAfee anti-virus software.

Cruzer Micro 8GB is expected to be available worldwide in mid-September with a manufacturer's suggested retail price in the United States of $129.99. Cruzer Micro also continues to be available in four smaller capacities, with U.S. MSRPs generally as follows: 512 MB for $14.99, 1GB for $24.99, 2GB for $39.99 and 4GB for $69.99.

I've got the 4GB Micro Cruzer. Sweet device. Can cram practically anything on it... at 4GB you can almost get the entire contents of a DVD on the thing. Sheesh.

I have the 4 GB Titanium Cruzer....definitely a work horse....

I can't resist picking these up. It's a good thing I have kids to pass the extras to! :)

I have a 4GB Cruzer Micro. I hate the plastic sliding mechanism. I have to brace it with my thumb to keep it from sliding in when I plug it in. And the slider's so flimsy I feel like I'm going to accidentally snap it. Other than that it's a wonderful flash drive.

I might pass them out for Halloween!

I have a few 8GB no names... read speed is fine but write speeds suck.

Personally I LOVE the retractable tip, as I lose the little caps all the time.

At 8gb, I can put a bootable BartPE image on it and the corporate ghost image, and a bunch of tools.
