Flash Drive Band: Wear Your Files

011409 flash-drive-band.jpg Now here is a flash drive that I could actually see myself carrying around....because I wouldn't actually be carrying it, but wearing it. While there is no shortage of flash drives masquerading as lipstick or pink pearl erasers, since I don't carry a man bag, (it's not a purse, it's European!) these stilll wouldn't work.

The only problem I can see with this is that it costs $30 for 512 mb while you can get a regular 4 gb flash drive for around $20. Hmm, since I seem to find myself wearing a watch less and less these days, maybe the flash drive band would take it's place. I mean, if I'm wearing it everyday, having 512 mb available for those times when you need to pull a file from a friends computer is better than leaving your flash drive at home and having 0 mb.

I Love this! So clever! and you will not loose it. It would be nice if there actually was a digital clock on top of it.

I got a 16gb thumb drive for $13 from newegg. I'd say they have a lot of work to do on their pricing.
I kinda sorta like the idea though.

I've seen these given out at music gigs where the drive is pre-loaded with a selection of tracks from the artist. They were also branded with the artist's logo. I thought it was a great idea.

I reckon they cost the promoter a lot less than $30 though!
