Flash card...literally a card

It's as thin as how cards are.

Featured in EverythingUSB.com, this business card contains flash memory sans the plug. We've seen a lot of interesting, crazy, sleek, and various other forms of the mighty flash disk. This one though spells more of what high technology means.

Being under conceptualization, there's still no official information on the card's exact storage capacity. This isn't the first attempt to develop a high-tech business card but as time passes and technology progresses, the idea gets more and more practical.

Possible uses of this card would include the storage of detailed personal and business information, resumes, CVs, or portfolios. It may also be designed to attach as added memories to mobile phones or other mini-SD compatible devices.

There are still disadvantages and obstacles to manufacturing this techie type of card. A new adapter needs to be developed to connect the card to computers or other devices. It may not be as durable and reliable (floppy disks come to mind). And a question of techie logic: why need a card when one can easily beam out and store data from one mobile device to another using bluetooth technology?
