Aesthetically Porsche’s newest vehicle, the Panamera, is a nightmare and if any thing just reaffirms Jeremy Clarkson’s opinion of brand’s design team – it’s not a positive one.  But for those of you that purchased the 4 door sedan you might receive a little thank you gift that is far cooler and more recognizable than the car itself: a Porsche Panamera USB stick that looks like a key fob (I stress the looks, since it doesn’t do double duty, which would be cool, nonetheless).

Chalked full of cliche comes the rap album “Uzi Does It” from the rap trio Get Busy Committee.  And if that serving of cliche isn’t enough, check out the Uzi USB stick to compliment the launch, which will contain the album’s songs.  Expect the record and Uzi to drop on October 27th and with it an influx of 10 o’clock news stories with mothers up in arms calling for a higher standard of morality from retailers.

I like buying my combs at the dollar store.  Then I have them scattered about my place, car, and bike bag.  I have a tornado of a weave that needs constant attention and combing.  Why duct tape one of the many USB drives I got from CES to one of my many combs when I can buy a (comb)ination of the two?

For $35, you can buy this 2GB comb/USB drive to effectively render you a person of value and desire. The social implications would be stammering for all I can tell, and I would never tell anyone I actually bought this.  How long till’ this thing breaks on you?

We all know firsthand the pain of a lost gadget.

That frantic searching, that desperate retracing of the steps, that final sinking horror to realize that, despite all your efforts, you’re going to have to shell out two hundred bucks for a new iPod and your old one worked just fine if you could just FIND IT!

But now, thanks to the crew out at Ardi Technology, that pain may not hit near so often thanks to their Ardi Mini Tracker 505 and 506.

The Mini Trackers show on a display, with a simple LED arrow, what direction you need to go in to find your lost gadget of choice within a range of one hundred meters.  You just attach the “slave unit” to your choice of gadget, and, when it comes up missing, use the “master unit” to detect the errant gadget.

As awesome as this sounds, Ardi Technlogy is still trying to find a reseller for these devices in the United States, so you can’t get your hands on one of these yet.  The read link below includes a really clever slide show / video of how the Mini Tracker works, and now, I really want one.

It’s really, REALLY, hard to find a camera any more without an LCD display, so I was definitely shocked to find the OneShot camera, a camera so tiny that it’s about the same size, length and width, as your thumb.

There is no LCD display here.  No slots for flash memory, either.  But it apparently somehow manages to not only come with face detection, but also never need batteries.  This camera actually recharges like some of those flashlights you see–all you have to do is shake it.

The OneShot seems to not only run on a dynamo but also offers no expansions in memory.  This may be one of the weirdest cameras I’ve ever SEEN.

Grenades by their very nature tend to pose a threat, but anything shaped like a grenade, but isn’t actually a grenade is an immediate draw to us none military folks.  What might be the perfect complement to the Grenade Alarm Clock, the Hand Grenade USB Flash Drive is available in 4 different colors (White, Black, Orange and Blue) and can store up to 4GB of data.  You can grab one for just $20.  It’s just too bad pulling the pin and flipping the handle doesn’t erase the drive’s contents.

Any sort of nefarious content should be under lock and key, or at the very least combination.  The Personal Pocket Safe USB Drive protects all your data by simply requiring its user to punch in a PIN on the built-in keyboard before read or write access is allowed.  For added security the drive will erase itself if someone forces entry and after 3 incorrect PIN attempts it locks up.  There’s no word on capacity, which leads me to believe their trying to sell it to OEMs, but you can grab a bunch of them (or one) for about $100.

It was just a matter of time for the the plug in Air Freshener to make the leap from wall socket to USB flash drive. The AromaUSB comes in three scents (Calming, Clarity and Energizing) and includes absolutely no memory whatsoever.  They’re completely customizable with your own logo and colors, which leads me to believe they’re more gimmick than practical.

I’m all in favor of ultra fast read and write times, but do we really need another USB flash drive?  Corsair thinks so, and today they rolled out their fastest yet, the 128GB Flash Voyager GT.  Actually this is just another iteration of the preexisting Voyager GT, except this one claims read speeds of 32MB/s and write speeds of 25.6MB/s.  It costs a whopping $399.99 so I hardly see the point in buying one at this stage, but if you’re into massive pocket sized storage with a penchant for pissing contests then have at it.

The custom made Luke Skywalker USB flash drive is totally cool and all, but it looks like he underwent a little more than the Vader’s saber.  It’s as if he was pinned to a 10 year old’s birthday cake who took 2 minutes too long to blow out the candles.  In either case, I’m confident we’ll see the idea propelled into mass production.

In case you haven’t noticed the storage market is like a black hole; there’s just no end in sight to where capacity will max out.  Kingston announced today their 256GB DataTraveler 300 USB flash drive.  That’s a two fold increase in capacity from last month’s announcement and almost double the price at $900.

The transfer write speed maxes out at 10Mbps while read time is 20Mbps, which means you’ll be killing more than a few hours of your life if you hope to transfer the drive’s entire contents to your computer.

No word on a release date, but it looks like it’s heading to the UK first.

USB flash drives have been showing up in all sorts of crap gear since the dawn of cheap memory, that’s why these pair of specs are so unique.  Made by the underwear man himself, Calvin Klein, they features a hidden 4GB flash drive in the right arm and boast a $200 price tag that will probably have most people squinting from sticker shock.

Combine anything with the Star Wars brand and it’s sure to sell.  Competing with the likes of Mimobot are 4 new rehashed Star Wars flash drives in the form of Yoda, Darth Vader, Storm Trooper and the good old Bobba Fett.  Each drive can store up to 2GB of data and are available for $24.99.

Depending on your age, the 3.5-inch floppy disk will either look familiar or totally archaic.  It held just over 3MB of data and was the second iteration in portable data for the computer.  Before that it was a 5.25-inch floppy that held less data, was about twice the size and was literally floppy, hence the name.  The 3.5-inch floppy USB drive merges a bit of the old with the new and gives reason for not only this article but a little reminiscing, something I’m doing a lot of as I get into my 30s.  It looks like a concept only, but of all the flash drives we’ve seen in recent years there is no reason why this one shouldn’t get produced.

In other USB flash drive news, Edge Tech Corp will also launch a 128GB flash drive.  It doesn’t look quite as rugged as Kingston’s offering, but at $389.95 it definitely airs on the side of economical, all things being relative of course.  You can preorder it now and it will ship 7/31.

We’ve seen our fair share of cool USB flash drives, but none so phallic and perhaps anatomically correct as the 4GB USB Flash Elephant Drive.  To make matters worse, and I don’t think this was the manufactures’ intention, it’s part of the ‘bone collection’, whatever that is.  It’s $30 and includes a removable water resistant case.

I’m not sure why, but Mimoco’s Mimobot flash drives are so darn attractive.  Well, actually I do know why: it’s all their cool facades.  This time around they’ve updated their line of Star Wars flash drives and included variations of Darth Vader.  Best of all this iteration of the flash drives features a USB cap that doubles as a mask and when removed reveals the face beneath.  And set for release at Comic Con, Mimoco will unveil a 3rd installment, limited edition – 500 to be exact – Darth Vader drive which will actually feature Luke Skywalker’s face, just as Luke imagined himself on Dagobah in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.

Ennova Direct just received a patent on what is probably going to be the world’s most advanced thumb drive. To be produced sometime in 2010, the flash drive features a retractable plug and built-in flip cover. Flip cover you ask? But of course, to protect the drives OLED screen that doubles as a fingerprint reader. The new drive, which has yet to be named or priced, will be launched under their ION Technologies brand.
