Pens are prime targets when it comes to built-in devices like spycams or flashlights. Now Digix from Korea is incorporating USB functionality into the standard ballpoint pen. Showcased on Geek Alerts, these pens come with a 1GB USB memory drive for all your on-the-go storage needs. Use as an actual pen or pop off the top cap to use the USB plug. Available in black, blue, red, and silver. Prices not released yet. I like the concept but the pens aren't exactly what I'd classify as glamorous. If they had a sleeker body I'd be all for them. What are your thoughts?

great concept, but i wish they had a better color selection.
1I love the idea of this, the only problem is that I might lose it. Although I might lose a thumb drive too. lol
2Ehh...I don't really see the point of this. Pens and those USB drive thingies are small and convenient enough as they are.
3I like them. A friend/business associate of mine had one at a meeting the other week. It totally impressed everyone. Really stood out.
4I love it. It would be great for a student or something.
5That's pretty cool! Really convenient.
6that is soo cool! wayyy more convenient than carrying around two separate things, especially if you're a student!
7Really
8Certainly much better looking than those lanyards. I wish they had better colors though.
9Hate it, I'm notorious for losing pens.
10the pens in those two in one type things are generally crap! i'll pass on this one.
11Great concept. I hope the pen doesn't write cheap.
12What happens when the pen stops working or runs out of ink, can you replace the ink? Also who doesn't drop pens all the time or tap them on the desk, things you shouldn't do with the usb stick.
13I like these, especially the black and silver ones, though I really think they should make a purple one... more things should come in purple.
14this would come in very handy. does it take replacable ink?
15I'm always losing my pens ... or having someone "borrow" them ... I'll leave it.
16Since I always lose my pens anywhere, this is a really stupid idea. So, I'd leave it.
17ditto tyffi. i lose or someone takes my pens all the time.
18I simply loved these pens. Basically the small lid-shaped cap is really interesting.

Great idea, but not practical for me. I lose pens so often.
20I'm waiting for the
USB with a built-in USB drive :/
21I would use it if I had one but I guess that is what makes me such a geek.
22very practical
23I got these for all the men in my life for Fathers Day! It was a great hit! I got a good lot of them on e-bay for about 50 buck and they were all 1GB
24OH, I love it and I want it.
25these are great i would just fear the fact that i would lose the pen therefore losing my drive otherwise fabulous!!
26People would think I'm rude because I wouldn't let anyone borrow my pen.
27Awesome idea but people loose and steal pens all too often!
28That would be so convenient!
