Got one in Staples, Carlisle this evening for £19.91!!
Amazon price £94.21 and £111 elsewhere!!
Fits in your shirt pocket. Weighs 180g. And all for the price of a 1GB Flash drive!
Only went in to see if there was anything new in th £xx.91 clearance!!
Also saw an HP Scanjet 5590 scanner for £119.91 (half price??) - it's a sheetfeeder jobby
and a Philips 40GB pocket hard drive for £49.91, although that's only £30 off I thibk.

Hi withabix
Do you know the SKU number for the product? (It helps when phoning stores to check for stock.)
Thanks.0 -
Sorry, my receipt only has the number corresponding to the barcode on the box: 0690590504196.
Archos model is 500419.
It was the only one of these on the shelf.
They also had a 60GB version in stock. Think that was £49.91 or £69.91 though.
They've still got a 200GB Maxtor NAS drive in stock at £69.91 as well, if anyone's still interested.British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -
Do you think this is a misprice? Seems very cheap indeed.
Do these work like a flash drive, plug and play?0 -
sounds about right. They are prolly end of line stock. A definite bargain though..... while stocks last,
With all these insane 300GB ones out, its about right at the GB to the £1 ratio.0 -
Haven't opened it yet.
Have read the manual on the website and it says it works exactly like a USB Flash Drive.

Can be powered via the USB port or with the supplied mains adapter.British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -

Yup. £19.91 and it works great!
Just what I had actually been looking for as well, which makes a change. This site usually makes me spend more!!!
