Mandriva today launches the 4GB version of Mandriva Flash, its live flash drive. Mandriva Flash 2GB, which was released in December 2006, has been a true success for Mandriva. It was sold out in less than two weeks! Mandriva has listen to user feedback and decided to develop a new version of its best seller flash drive.

I am from Québec (Canada) i was looking on futureshop, and prices for a 4GB USB Key are around 99.99$.
That's why i'm saying it wasn't so expensive.
Dane Elect (Mandriva Flash) - 113,92$ (1 CAD = 0,868997 USD) - 5years warranty
Kingston - 49.99$ after rebate (99.99$) - 5years warranty

I just walk into my local Frys Electronics here and get the "weekly special" 4gb - some 4-6 months ago, I got 4gb PQI for $50 USD after rebate - now they're a lot cheaper.
Also, you should be comparing the "off-brand" names to Mandriva's brand - as you won't be paying for names like "SanDisk" or "Kingston"...

Here in the US, I can pick up a 4gb USB thumb drive for ~$35 USD now (sometimes - after rebate) - so paying 89 EUR is ridiculous!
Edit: (For a USB key, it's ridiculous anyway - I'm not sure how much people consider a pre-installed Mandriva worth in markup but that's like $80 USD extra!)
