Would you pay $50 for an 8GB flash drive in 2008?

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a garish, Swarovski crystal-encrusted anything, much less a USB thumb drive, the Transcend JetFlash V85C. Our cup runneth over!

But seriously, there’s really no reason for a self-resecting gadget hound to spend $50 on an 8GB, Swarovski or not.
