Bought it just before Christmas, 4Gb. Copied some files onto it, it seemed fine. Tried it today and it's write protected even though there is no write protect switch on the device nor any option via windows to write protect it. Tried it on XP, Vista and MacOS. How annoying.

Problem is I can't return it to the supplier because the source code cannot be made public, and it's sitting on the drive read-only so I can't clean it off (and the drive cannot be formatted). Gah!
