SanDisk is using this on many of their memory stick
models. The larger ones come bundled with SKYPE and a
bunch of other trial edition software that will be of
interest to very few, I think. I bought two of these
sticks in different capacities, and regretted it as
soon as I discovered this. They are seen as TWO
drives -- one being seen as a CD. It's a device
firmware thing apparently -- can't be changed. A real
PITA for non-WIN users. All I wanted was flat
storage, that could be accessed from anything.
