Well, newegg (at least) has 64GB too, though the price/size ratio is not
favorable:

Yeah, I remember seeing the Corsair Voyager GTs, but they're not around
anymore...interesting...

It's the little things that get me though--the cap is detachable and easily
losable; why not make it built in or not need a cap?  And what about
somewhere sturdy to attach it to a keychain where it won't come off?!  I got
a 8GB Cruzer for $15 from Best Buy just to have it, and I had it on my
keychain and the flimsy ring already slipped off my keychain! *sigh*

It's those things that get me too; the actually usability aspects, not just
the speed and reliability! :P

The biggest, which I believe is Cosair's 32GB 
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233061  is 
not going to be the fastest. That title belongs to the premium "Red" 
Cosair Voyager GT 8GB which is expensive and isn't easy to find right 
now.. probably coming out with a new version.

I have a 16GB Cosair Voyager, which cost me 25 bucks on sale/Rebate 
at Newegg and it is pretty fast on the reads, but not so much on the 
writes. But well made and a very good value. You can get the 32GB for 
40 bucks regular retail now.
