Five new Empire Strikes Back-themed USB drives are the latest Mimobots released as part of the Mimobot Series 6 lineup. The five new characters — Yoda, Hoth Luke, Wampa, Snowtrooper, and Lobot — are available in traditional Mimobot sizes of 2GB, 4BG, 8GB, and 16GB and range in price from $30-$90 each.
These latest releases join a host of other Star Wars-themed flash drives, but I must admit I'm partial to Yoda. It's the ears!
I've seen my share of funky USB drives, but these are both practical and functional. The Tandem USB connector allows multiple USB connections to be plugged into one USB port by piggybacking on one another for a seemingly infinite number of connections.
Great idea, but is it real?

An adorable new Mimobot made its debut at last week's Comic-Con in San Diego. The Hello Kitty Nerd Kitty Mimobot is the latest in the collection of Hello Kitty flash drives and features a glasses- and pocket-protector-wearing Hello Kitty. Nerd Kitty joins a creative collection of colorful USB drives including Domo X, a community-designed pirate, and Star Wars characters.
The drive is available starting at $25 for 2GB of storage, with available 4, 8, and 16GB options for $35, $55, and $80, respectively.
Even though Apple was not in attendance in this year's Macworld, there was no shortage of great accessories on the showroom floor. Here's a recap of some of the goodies I spotted last week.
Adding to its collection of character-themed USB drives, Mimobot recently released three new Hello Kitty flash drives to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Hello Kitty. I'm loving their cute, colorful designs: Hello Kitty Apple, Hello Kitty Fun in Fields, and Hello Kitty x.
The drives are available in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB (starting at $25) and come loaded with Sanrio-themed wallpaper, screensavers, icons, avatars, and videos.
If wooden USB drives tickle your fancy, ZaNa has just come out with these handcrafted SO2 USB drives made from either merbau wood, silver 925 or natural amber. When you plug the SO2 into your USB port, a flashing amber light is used as the access indicator. According to GetUSB, ZaNa includes "Ultra Stable Technology" in their drives to insure data doesn't get lost with an accidental power down or disconnect. Priced at $64 for the 1GB and $83 for the 2GB. Spill the beans. . . geek or chic?
First there were cassettes, then CDs and soon you'll be able to purchase music-filled USB drives. Universal Music will soon be offering music singles on USB drives to help increase music sales, although I can't see any sales increasing with a $10 price tag for only one single! Considering the fact that we can now buy and download songs wirelessly for about a dollar, why would we want to carry around a bunch of USB drives that don't even play more than one song? People like the convenience of digital music that can easily be transferred to their media devices and music that doesn't cost a small fortune. What do you think? via Coolest Gadgets
