Cuteness, functional and some of the features tell us all - USBee had a cooling system, ergonomically shape with elastic neck and a detachable protective cap that snaps onto the back end of the device when not in use. This design by Damjan Stankovic just won the first prize at the MS Industrial USB Competition held by the Serbian Design Community forum DizajnZona™. Will not go into production in near time.

Usually when you shop for a digital camera you get everything digital, including the gauges. Not all that surprising really. What if your digital camera used some analog components? That sounds a bit like an oxymoron, but that is exactly what Samsung has done on its TL9 camera.

USB Flash based memory drives come in so many shapes and styles these days, it’s almost hard to remember the time when every computer didn’t have a USB port and a floppy disk was the most convenient way to transfer files between computers. Considering that USB ports are the only type port common to every laptop and desktop anymore, and that finding a PCMCIA slots on both is no longer a given, having and using a USB based flash memory device makes sense. Today we’ll take a look at one of the most unique and most convenient USB flash memory drives I have yet seen, the Walletex Wallet Flash.
Measuring exactly 3.4″ long from the tip of the USB plug to the card’s other end x 2.13″ wide x 0.07″ thick, the Wallet Flash looks like a slightly thicker, oddly shaped credit card. Touted as being the “World’s slimmest USB device”, I would have to say that it’s probably true since the next slimmest flash drive I’ve reviewed (the StealthSurfer) was 0.1″ without it’s plastic case; although the overall size of the StealthSurfer was much smaller. Look at me getting off track! Anyway…

Data security has always been the first priority of every user. Until date we have seen many data storage devices that employ various methods to protect your data. Password protection in most common out of them, but password can be hacked easily.
LighTuning has come out with a fingerprint sensor USB memory ‘FP Flash Drive’ during CeBIT 2007 that according to me is the most impressive way to secure your data until anybody chops your finger.
