So, is this just a large, unwieldy housing for a thumb drive, or can you actually plug it into a cassette player and listen to the contents? The latter would be really useful.
Alas, the web site doesn't say.

i believe i am going to try to to mod my own cassette tape with a USB drive... i don't need any fancy label for it. and YOS.... who plays tapes anymore?

Agreed, YOS. In addition, I was hoping for at least 4 gigs of storage considering the size of a cassette tape. I mean, if we're going retro and keeping size in mind, how about a PEZ dispenser. I'm already eye-balling the Lego version...

I certainly don't, but have a stereo system and a couple of boom boxes that have a tape deck, but no convenient input jacks. They're not all THAT old.

Does the USB connector fold away somehow? If not, this thing isn't going to fit on my shelf with my other tapes, and it's only a matter of time before it gets broken. Decent enough fun idea (kind of), but badly executed methinks (and oh so very expensive for what it is!)
