ADATA Wine Bottle USB flash drive

If you happen to stand atop the podium at a Grand Prix, or have managed to win the Tour de France without the help of drugs, then surely no one would deny you spraying some expensive bubbly all over the place. Well, as a programmer, your company’s funds for splurging might be a wee bit more limited, which is why you will have to make do with your imagination – thanks to the ADATA Wine Bottle USB flash drive that comes in a distinctive bottle design.

Of course, this is the week’s “fun” gadget to start you off on the right note, where you get to add some style and flair to your desktop. Measuring 50mm x 19mm x 11mm, the DashDrive Choice UC500 will offer golden champagne and sparkling red colors, boasting of a glossy metal exterior. You can choose from 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of storage space (priced at $10.99, $15.99 and $26.99, respectively), while the integrated strap hole allows you to use it in tandem with a keychain or lanyard. It does make me wonder why it is still stuck at USB 2.0 connectivity though.

USB Toaster Hub and Thumbdrives

Some of us might say that a particular file is toast once we accidentally pressed Shift and Delete keys on the keyboard, but you might want to think of making a backup of all your important files onto a USB flash drive beforehand. Now, since many of us already tote a fair number of USB flash drives as part of our collection, why not make matters more interesting by using a USB hub at home or in the office? You might as well make a stylish statement in the process with the USB Toaster Hub and Thumbdrives from ThinkGeek. The USB Toaster Hub is one thing, and you can choose other thumb-drives that come in the shape of a toast. The toaster and toasts are sold separately, retailing anywhere from $24.99 to $27.99 depending on what you are looking for.

I guess it would be travesty not to collect all four “slices” of “toast”, especially when you consider how cute the whole setup would be if you were to piece them together. Not only that, ThinkGeek knows that the modern day road warrior is also one who carries a slew of other gizmos as well, which is where the SD memory card slot on this puppy comes in handy.

Battlestar Galactica Flash Drive

There are many USB flash drives around, where they all come in different shapes and sizes. Well, for the science fiction fan, here is something that you might want to check out – the $44.99 Battlestar Galactica Flash Drive. Sure, you can say that this a whole lot more expensive than it really is, considering it comes with only 4GB of storage space, and one good thing about this would be its compatibility – it can be used by both humans and Cylons alike, regardless of which side of the fence you lean on.

While the Battlestar Galactica Flash Drive will not be faster than light, but at least it is capable of holding your fair share of memory and files wherever you go, and at a glance, you are able to share your love for your favorite science fiction series with but a single purchase. Do you think it is actually worth more than the actual price, considering how it seems to have been jacked up just for the sake of taking advantage of Battlestar Galactica fans.
