As for marketing.... Carte Blanche the game from GMX Media with zero marketing budget so far! Unfortunately GMX have a track record of picking up some reasonable titles but not doing a great job of marketing then

Yes, I really was visioning a pen that was plugged into the USB drive and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why someone would want such a thing! :

Glad to see I'm not the only one in the dark . I was thinking it was a pen that had a mini screen built in it.

Status : Online | Just looked the [Carte Blanche] game up.... and found Amazon's page with the description of....
Sphere is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) that immerses players in the world of medieval... snip
The screenshots also show 3rd person models weilding hand combat weapons...
How do they expect to gain sales for something when they [Amazon you'd have to assume] can't even provide the correct description for the product :-? :
Carte Blanche does look quite unique - check out their webby if you haven't already -> http://www.absurdus.net/carteblanche/downloads.htm

I've always called it a USB drive. This is the first time I've heard it refered to as a USB pen.

Status : Online | The other day I received a catalog called "Computer Gear". In it, they're selling a USB drive pen. It is a real working pen that also contains a USB drive. You unscrew the cap (clip section) and there is the drive. Comes in 256 meg and 512 meg versions. Attractive-looking pen, too.
Best,

Based on that description, I had to look it up. Seems the name can go either way, but there really are USB drive pens!
