flash drive

Incubot have come up with yet another Nekobot figurine, this time round a Voltron: Defender of the Universe Nekobot that is actually a hidden 2GB USB Flash drive when you think about it. He comes equipped with a laser sword that is sure to cut down all your work in size, as long as they do not amount up to more than 2GB of course. We’re not too sure whether you would want to bring this to work considering the social implications of such a kiddy like item being toted around by a high flyer like yourself.

Check out the $39.99 Limited Edition Stealth Robot 2GB USB Drive from ThinkGeek – why do we think it is foolish? For starters, who forks out nearly $50 for a 2GB flash drive anymore these days? The only consolation would be this USB flash drive caters for lovers of Japanese robots, where it is constructed from soft rubber on the outside alongside articulated arms and head, letting you play with it whenever you are bored. Pull it apart at its torso to reveal a USB connector for you to plug it into a nearby USB port.

This USB flash drive goes one up on the rest of its brethren, where it boasts the ability to record conversations as well. Unfortunately, it will do so in the WAV format which is much more inefficient compared to MP3, considering the size it requires to store a minute’s worth of conversation taking up a whole lot more than what the MP3 format would. The built-in battery offers up to 5 hours of non-stop recording, and nice to know it has an On/Off switch. Guess having this on your desk and leaving it on during lunch hour is good since you can then replay all the banter among your colleagues when they’re not around. Brando is offering this for $23 a pop.

Food lovers or to be specific hot dog lovers can now get a drive that lets them think of their favorite treat all day long.  It just doesn’t get much better than that.  Then other hot dog lovers can see your USB drive and you’ll have an instant bond between you and them.  These hot dogs come in 3 different sizes. There’s the 2GB for $16, the 4GB for $19 and then the 8GB for $31.  You can get each one of them through USB Brando.

The USB Bottle Opener Flash Drive seems to be a pretty dangerous combination device – after all, you wouldn’t want to be dead drunk while transferring sensitive data into a USB flash drive, only to leave it in a pub for someone else to discover, eh? Not to mention this one doesn’t come with any form of data encryption or security, which makes it all the more dangerous. You will be able to choose from 2GB, 4GB and 8GB capacities that retail for $19, $22 and $33, respectively.

Here’s an enterprising that is spotted on Etsy – a Lego-based C3PO of Star Wars fame being modified to hold 16GB of storage space inside, lighting up in a soft glow as well when plugged in to give it that “enlightened” look just like the Buddha. Here’s food for thought – being a protocol droid, surely C3PO requires a whole lot of memory to speak zillions of languages, but perhaps he has some sort of super data compression algorithm that fits everything onto 16GB? One major downside to this customized USB flash drive would be its price tag – a whopping $189.95!

Very rarely do you get to turn the tables on those in the medical line, but this time round you can exact revenge on all surgeons thanks to the USB Surgeon Drive. Why do we say so? The USB connector is revealed only when you remove the surgeon’s head from his body, only to reattach it back as though you yourself were a top notch surgeon when not in use. Sounds cartoonishly morbid, but hey, tit for tat, eh?

They say that you can never have enough USB ports to go around, just like how a lady should always look for newer handbags and shoes, but sometimes, too much can just be overwhelming. Case in point, this 10-Port USB Hub Bar that allows you to hook up to 10 USB 2.0 devices. I’m guessing that this would be good for those who want to show off their USB flash drive collection as it might just have not enough juice to power 10 power guzzling devices that are plugged in simultaneously. $25 is the asking price for the 10-Port USB Hub Bar – you game?

Do you think that you’ve seen your fair share of USB flash drives that nothing ought to get you hot and bothered any more? Maybe the Lady LUCK 4GB Portable Thumbdrive on Etsy might change that perspective, although we don’t think the $45 asking price for 4GB of storage space is going to endear itself to anybody. However, this USB thumbdrive comes in a form factor of a car, complete with a quartet of wheels that allow it to move like any other normal toy car. When you need to access data from it or transfer some important files over, just remove the protective cap (which is basically half of the vehicle, of course) and you’re good to go.
