Summary: 1 Big Flaw
Review: While this would seem to be a cool way to transfer information between different computers and even a PDA, the Cruzer is too deep and wide to fit properly in most USB ports. If you have a typical computer (i.e., a keyboard and mouse connector and below it 2 USB ports), the Cruzer does not fit in the USB port if the keyboard and mouse are plugged in. It also doesn't fit if a USB device is plugged in, as it is too "fat". You must use a 4" dongle that comes with it to plug it into such places, that dongle is easily lost, and the dongle does not easily fit into the carrying case that comes with the product.

In principle, it works well. But in practice, being too bulky and not plugging into the usb port at the back of a typical computer without the aid of additional, easily lost parts is a real drag. You'd be better off with a smaller memory key-like device, or if you have a PDA or camera, it's a lot cheaper just to buy a data cable instead.

Summary: excellent!
Review: Worked great out of the box! Loaded the driver on a Win98 laptop and was dragging and dropping files in minutes! On the Win2k laptop no driver needed! Instant access. I take files to work, back home, everywhere. Just slip the puppy in my pocket. One small problem. You will have to use the 3" extension cord in most situations, I only wish they would have put a storage pocket on the carrying case for the extension cable. Other than that thumbs up on this item..
