SuperTalent doesn’t seem to be scared of the current economical recess and that it will affect the USB memory market. It has launched a new and highly exclusive USB memory called SuperTalent Limited Edition 8GB Pico-C.

But then you realize that Pico-C is covered in 18 karat gold and that you can preorder it at SuperTalent for the neat sum of $599.
