I'm looking toward the IOGear USB Mini Optical Retractable-corded Mouse with 32MB Flash Drive. I haven't found any reviews yet so I'm posting here if anybody has seen these or uses these. Let me know if they're any good. The model number is this: GME224M32

I have a Kensington PocketMouse Pro (retractable-cord optical USB mouse) that expires within 2 weeks (30 days return policy from Fry's Electronic).

Thanks in advance.

I did a quick search on Google, but didn't see a review.

If the mouse isn't comfortable to use, I wouldn't waste my time with it, as 64mb USB drives (or larger) are so cheap these days.

In this day and age, 32mb isn't really much space anyway. :)

Interesting idea, that. I once saw (and almost bought) a mouse with a compact flash reader built in, but i've not seen a mouse with built in memory before.

Thinking about it, though, I can't really see the point. The idea of a flash drive is that you just drop it into your bag/pocket/keychain and carry it everywhere. You aren't likely to carry this around everywhere, but carry it in your laptop bag. And if you already have your laptop along, with its multigig hard disk, whats the point of that extra 32 mb?
