New clothing items too.
I like the flash drive, but going by the description you only get 4gb storage if you wipe it clean?
Still want one though.

Description for USB is,
This new and improved USB Flash drive not only comes with Ubuntu 8.10 pre-loaded, but can also hold a whopping 4GB of data that can be transferred to virtually any USB equipped machine. Who could say no?
I think it has extra 4 gb for storage, other than preloaded ubuntu.

I would hate to think Canonical Shop were using sharp practices, but the item is entitled "Ubuntu 8.10 4GB Flash Drive".
How you get the Ubuntu OS on a 4gb flash drive and still have 4gb left for storage is a neat trick I'm keen to learn....
As it happens 8.10 has a neat new trick: System > Administration > Create a USB startup disk
so you can create your own really easily.
I still want the one with the logo on though, mmm... shiny... :)

From the picture it looks like it doesn't have a cap, the connector is retractable.

Looks very good, I like both the mouse and the usb with Ubuntu. Perhaps one for me and one for my brother. What about write/read speed on that USB(hope its fast)?

I just went to the "shop" site looking for the wireless mouse and did not see it.
EDIT: I sent an E-mail inquiring and got the following reply
Douglas,
We do not offer a wireless mouse through the US Store.
Best,
