We're a few precious breaths from 2010, and if there's anything we're looking forward to, it's some wicked fast USB 3.0 storage -- Intel be damned (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/usb-3-0-held-back-by-lack-of-intel-chipset-support/). Set to hit shelves sometime in January, A-DATA's N002 Combo Flash Drive sports both SATA II and a USB 3.0 connection. Using the latter, the drive boasts up to 200MB/sec read and 170 MB/sec write speeds. Or if you're feeling retro, you can take advantage of that backwards-compatibility and connect via USB 2.0. Now, we don't know how much this bad boy will cost, but it will be bundled with A-DATA UFD to GO software. Of course, this thing is not nearly as cute as the Kissing Octopus USB drive (http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/30/the-kissing-octopus-flash-drive-perfect-for-your-clingy-signi/), but we're sure it's not without its charms.
