Steampunk 4GB Flash Drive: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:41:34 -0700

I was totally up on the steampunk craze, and although I would never be able to afford this $3,000 (yes, that's three zeros) 4GB Steampunk Flash Drive, I can appreciate its workmanship. Hand crafted with love by Etsy user WillRockwell, the drive is listed at such a high price because Will says that's what it would take to "pry the drive out of my hands and take it from my world into yours." I totally understand the sentiment, Will. That's one hot flash drive.

Here's a USB accessory worth raving about. A hit on Gizmodiva from Phone Daily, the Intelligent USB Flash Drive i810 is a multi-faceted storage device concept design which combines art and technology. This chic drive is remarkably water, dust, shock and vibration proof and ranges in storage capacities from 512MB up to 2GB. Attach it to your phone with the included dongle so you can take all your pics and data with you. Available in pink or iron gray.

Porcelain Flash Drive For Your Precious, Precious Memories

GeekSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:01:42 -0800

Luxury flash drives don't have to be all pink, bedazzled Juicy Couture madness; take for instance, this Porcelain Flash Drive.

Its $125 determines its luxury status; the handcrafted process and glazed porcelain stops me from calling it crazy. Unquestionably, it's too expensive for the one GB it provides, but like I said, it just has to be viewed in a different category of flash drives - this isn't just a utility, it's an indication that tech products, be they as prosaic as a memory stick, are worthy of good design.

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

Swarovski Robot Happy Laura Flash Drive: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:00:29 -0800

If you've been blissfully unaffected by the recession, then first of all, more power to you, and second of all, may I interest you in a $180 flash drive?

The Swarovski crystal-covered Robot Happy Laura Flash Drive is cute but holds a paltry 2GB of data.

But maybe you've got money to burn this holiday season and someone in mind who's a robot-freak geek who needs extra (but not very much extra) storage space.

Economical wariness aside, what do you think of it?

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?

Is This Really the Time For Solid Gold Flash Drives?

GeekSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 14:30:35 -0700

So maybe this was the only time in their busy schedule that Super Talent Technology could release this 8GB, 18-karat Solid Gold USB Drive, currently retailing for $600.

Or maybe they just figure that the kind of person who would buy a solid gold drive in the first place is unconcerned with this recession.

Sample dialogue: "What is this recession you speak of?! Get me my solid gold flash drive! I need to take some MP3s over to Buffy's!"

Dive Dive! With the Waterproof Flash Drive

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 07:34:43 -0700

I'm dying to know the applied uses of a Waterproof Flash Drive. Not to imply that these aren't useful - for those who needed them, they'd be just that. I'm just ultra-curious about the kind of tasks these memory sticks would be used for.

Amphibious geeks? Underwater subterfuge? They're like a Bond accessory. These in particular, by Man Works Design (no purchase details available), also happen to be adorable in their efficiency - brightly-colored mini submarines? Love.

What would you use one for?

I'd Heart a Heart-Shaped Flash Drive

GeekSugar — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 09:00:52 -0800

Don't worry, with Valentine's Day coming (and going) tomorrow, my obsession with pink-and-red heart-and-flower all-out girliness will soon come to an end.

But it's not tomorrow yet, so I'm feeling free to gush about how frigging adorable these Heart-Shaped Flash Drives are.

It's about $38 bucks for a paltry 2GB and you'd have to pay for some outrageous shipping from Japan, but all I see is the pretty, pretty heart. Sigh.

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?!).
