LaCie PetiteKey USB flash drive: slim and discreet, for files of the private variety

LaCie PetiteKey USB flash drive slim and discrete, for files of the private variety

What if the key to your home continued to get smaller and smaller? Would that be something you’d cheer or loathe? Thankfully, that’s not the question we’re posing today — instead, we’re wondering if you’d enjoy a key-like flash drive that’s smaller than its predecessor. LaCie’s new PetiteKey sort of gives itself away right in the title, being even tinier than the iamaKey that shipped in March of 2009. In fact, it’s some 30 percent smaller, and ships with a Wuala Secure Cloud Storage account as well. The unit itself is waterproof up to 100 meters, and LaCie claims that your sultry love letters will be protected “even if dropped in a mud puddle or put through the washing machine.” Sadly, the unit only transfers at USB 2.0 speeds, but can be had soon in 8/16/32GB capacities starting at $14.99. Mildly related video can be found after the break.
