LightBulb shaped USB Flash Drive

August 3rd, 2009

usb bulb

Another unususally designed USB drive, this one as a Light Bulb. While this looks cool and Geeky, I really doubt if this will fit into a Laptop USB port without elevating the latptop from the surface (the bulb’s round head is thicker than usual laptops). However nice geek stuff; A 2GB LightBulb drive will cost you $19, 4GB will cost $22 and 8GB will come home for $32. And hey, this doubles up as a keyholder aswell.

256GB USB Flash Drive from Kingston (DataTraveler 300)

July 21st, 2009

datatraveler 300 256gb

Just weeks after we saw two different 128GB Flash drives here comes a 256GB one from Kingston. This little portable drive costs more than my PC and Mobilephone combined = $900! But the thought of a thumb sized drive that can hold a full 256GB is mind blasting (specially for someone like me who used to hunt for 16MB memory cards at some time to fit into a Nokia :P ).

The Data-traveler 300 works with Windows, Mac and Linux offering great compatibility. Now only if they could fit in some awesome security in it with a mobile connectivity on an Android? … god the possibilities are amazing (or I am just thinking a little too wild)!!

Memory Pill USB Drive

June 7th, 2009

memory-pill

You always wish for a pill that could let you remember things and increase your memory so that you never fail in exams. Well, here is a pill that can store some memory for you but can’t help you pass exams without cheating.

The pill is a USB drive with an attached keychain. The Pill USB Drive is only a 64 Mb drive. The keychain being attached to the cap leaves you with a risk of the USB part falling off with all your 64MB worth of data. Not the smartest design, but a gizmo nevertheless.

Its available through Giftlab @ $18.
