Can somebody help me in undestanding the size limitations of a flash
drive based on the current flash memory technology? All usb flash
drives are no smaller than the width of the usb connector. Is the size
of the USB connector the only thing limiting a flash drive from being
even smaller. If an adapter was made to go from the usb connection down
to a much smaller connection that would connect to a flash memory
device just how small or skinny could we get here? All the pen flash
drives that I have seen are all large in diameter. With the idea I just
stated, could pen drives be made that are much smaller in diameter.
This is just something I'm working on. Any info would be great.

sandisk do a 2G SD/USB card but 4G is only available in SD only,
I think that meand they cant fit the USB connector and 4G of flash into the
size of an SD card. yet.
