  1. The problem by fredistheking · · Score: 5, Insightful

    is that these gimmick flash drives never keep up with the pace of regular vanilla flash drives. 64MB swiss army knife or 32MB usb watch anyone?

  2. At least it has one key feature...... by 8127972 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ..... There's no annoying cap to lose.

  3. LCD watches, back in the '80s by IvyMike · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At some point back in the '80s, the cheap, almost disposable, LCD watch was perfected. Soon after we were treated to a parade of typical household items...but with an LCD watch in them! Yay! But we soon burnt out on them.

    But don't worry, because now we have a trend of our own: devices with a USB in them?

    What else can we stick a USB drive in? A wristband...why not a headband? A hat! Why not a shoe? How about a toothbrush! A novelty toy fish! Etc.
