PQI Squeezes 16GB into Credit Card-sized Flash Card

A Taiwanese flash card manufacturer is prepping up the introduction of a credit card-sized 16GB Flash Card.

Power Quotient International (PQI), a memory module manufacturer in Taiwan, will ship the wallet-size storage device called U510. The flash card’s dimension is only 85mm x 54mm x 3mm. It is expected to battle out with a thinner USB flash-drive from OCZ, which has recently announced a storage card called Mini-Kart with only 2.8mm thickness. We’re not sure if there’s a flash card with U510’s size that exceeds 16GB.

U510’s remarkable credit card-size design allows you to slip it into your wallet or pocket. It has a built-in retractable USB connector and should work with Macs and Windows.
