7 5 New Star Wars Mimobots Released
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 Read more
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.

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 Read more
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 Read more
According to new research, over 17,000 USB flash drives were left behind at laundromats and dry cleaners last year. While I definitely promote the idea of backing up your important files on an external drive of some sort, leaving them lofting about in the hands of strangers (or destroyed in the washing machine) isn't exactly what I had in mind. Want to keep your important data with you, but are Read more
What's more romantic than a promise to love and cherish forever? How about a promise to never forget, or at least to never misplace those important files? With Memoring, you can do both. The simple neon plastic rings, which are actually USB flash drives, come in their own ring box and are available in festive colors like pink, yellow, or my favorite: glitter. At about $36 for 2GB, these little Read more
