SanDisk 4GB Mini Cruzer is Finally Out! (Link)

After this long wait, I finally bought my first (SanDisk 4GB Mini Cruzer USB Flash Drive)! It is the largest storage capacity for a USB Flash Drive ever manufactured by SanDisk, the world leading company in memory products. I know it is expensive cause it has just been released few days ago ... but I couldn't stop myself from buying it ;p Anyway, if someone is interested in purchasing one, just let me know. I can arrange something ;) Look at my eBay listing (either by clicking at UAE Forever banner on the top of this page ... thanks Marwan! or by clicking at the link below) ... maybe I have still some left for sale .....!
