Custom-Designed USB Jewel Pendants

GeekSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:50:41 -0800

When it comes to geeky jewelry pieces, I'd have to agree with most of you in saying that the ones that are cute and functional get two thumbs up, but the ones that are geeky but not really fashionable? Yeah, they won't be making it to the top of my holiday wish list. Well here's a collection that is chic and stylish and feature USB drives in 2GB and 4GB built-in storage capacities.

The LA-based USB Jewel was started by Giselle Jhunjhnuwala - a pianist and composer - when she needed a portable place to store her repertoire of sheet music. Have a peek at her crackled shell and wooden creations.

Rubber Bracelet Flash Drive: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 15:45:12 -0700

In a different world, I'd say no one would have been into these 8 GB Flexible Wrist Band USB Flash Drives ($18), but this is the world where those yellow Livestrong bracelets (and all their knockoffs) are still being rocked.

I don't see this bracelet going with any of my outfits, but it's not a bad idea, especially if you're always forgetting to bring a flash drive with you when you need it. Would you wear it?

Domo To Make US TV And Flash Drive Debut This Fall

GeekSugar — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 06:00:54 -0700

You may have already heard about Domo, a Japanese animated character, which has recently become a viral sensation - much like Hello Kitty - in the US. Domo is a fuzzy, brown character that was created by a Japanese television station in 1998 as a mascot. He quickly became popular at novelty shops in Japan and it was recently announced that he will make his US debut on the Nicktoons Network, with a series of two-minute shorts.

How will the US celebrate our soon-to-be love and adoration for all things Domo? The USB mavens at Mimoco hope we'll be picking up Domo art/toy USB flash drives. It's hard to fall in love at first glance, but I must admit, Domo is pretty cute.

The Domo flash drives will be available in capacities from 1 to 4GB, and will be fully functional flash drives encased in cute and colorful bodies compatible with both Windows and Mac platforms. They will cost $49.95 to $109.95 for 1GB to 4 GB of space. Available at specialty retail shops and at Domonation.com and mimobot.com in early November. You can get a better feeling of the show by checking out the video below. read more

Love It or Leave It? Ballpoint Pen With USB Drive

GeekSugar — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:00:11 -0700

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?

Handmade 14K Gold USB Set with Diamonds

GeekSugar — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 04:00:14 -0700

I don't like to let a single USB drive slip through the geeksugar cracks - be it a luxury item, goofy shape or food-inspired USB - so I feel compelled to share the “Disk on Key” USB flash drive.

Apparently, the device was handmade out of 14K gold and decorated with three diamonds. The gold DOK offers 4GB of space for your photos, music, and docs. The DOK is Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified and is compatible with Windows 2000, SP4 and XP. What's not to love you wonder? A $2,000 price tag.

Love It or Leave It? Venice Flash Drive

GeekSugar — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 15:00:22 -0700

Here's another blingin' USB drive to add to your collection. Posted on Chip Chick this Dane Elec Venice flash drive comes with a crystal center piece and has a 1GB storage capacity. This and the pearl flash drive are more up my alley in terms of style as I don't think I could ever wear the Swarovski rhinestone necklace. I'm assuming the crystal must not be real as this drive only costs $30. What do you think of it?

Zip Zip LEGO USB Drives

GeekSugar — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 09:31:09 -0700

I know I talk about USB Drives more than people actually use or purchase them, but the Zip Zip LEGO drive was just too exciting not to share. It's a regular 1GB Memory Stick that's Windows and Mac compatible and includes a lanyard. They're no Brickwall LEGO ring, but I say they're pretty chic.

USB Flash Drive Mixes Business With Pleasure

GeekSugar — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 11:02:04 -0700

Thankfully this USB flash drive is only 1GB, as I'd be hesitant to crack open bottles with a 4GB drive filled with important data! But, if you are someone who likes to have an opener on standby, this might be the gadget for you. For $30 from SkyMall, you can amuse your friends with this lime green Popdrive. Easily attach to your keys, purse, belt buckle or backpack. All I can say is use at your own risk. And only save material on it that you have back-up for (just in case, right?!).
