And why exactly does it expand? Because you put data on it? What sense does that make?!

It makes sense because it "fills up" as you put more data on it. It's a gimmick, but it might also be useful if you want to see roughly how much free space you have at a glance, without plugging it in.

I think its cool. It adds a new dimension to the boring old USB sticks. Its a nice piece of product design. Not everything has to adhere to pure function. Although a chocolate teapot is going a bit far

Norm, wouldn't it be better to have a small LCD display on the outside to show how much storage is being used or left (possibly with a click of a button to show the difference)?

Who couldn't like an oddity like that. I don't think I'd buy one but I like the idea of someone being able to find financing to produce something like that.
