Imation has a new tiny USB storage device called Atom. This model offers 1GB, 2GB, 4GB or even 8GB of data in a 1.5" long device that's no larger than a paperclip.

Versions of the tiny USB mobile storage device can store 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB of data. The drive is currently available at prices ranging from US$18 to $100 based on capacity.

Analysts say that as the prices of USB flash drives drop, the easy-to-use portable storage devices are gaining popularity among mid-size and large corporate customers to store, transport and share digital files among co-workers, business units and partners.
