I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of USB sticks floating around my house and desk, and can’t help but wonder about the environmental impact of this. I mean, if I have this much wasted USB sticks, then how many other people have my problem?

I suppose this is why Boardy USB sticks were made. Personally, I think “Boardy” is a pretty juvenile name, but I like the concept: making memory sticks from recycled paper. Let’s see these Boardys be given out at conventions instead of wasted USB sticks!

Just a quick update here — Sony has recently announced that they will be upping the capacity of their Memory Stick Pro Duo memory cards to a full 32GB.

While this product is marketed generally towards those looking to store large amounts of HD footage, I don’t see why you couldn’t slap a few documents (or whatever else you need) on there for easy storage.

When you talk about laptops, the Sony Vaio is certain to be among the tops brands one would think of.

The Sony VAIO SR390 can be one of the least expensive of the company’s ultraportable laptops but it also lacks the performance that can be found for less from other companies or with more features for the same cost.

It comes with a LED backlit display that provides some excellent color without producing too much glare from the glossy coating. The keyboard design is also very comfortable and easy to use.

The big problem with the VAIO SR390 is its cost. While it is relatively affordable for a Sony laptop, there are offerings from other brands that offer a similar level of features that cost less or provide even more features and performance for the same price. This makes the Sony really only a strong choice for those looking for a system with a very strong display or just have to own a Sony laptop.

• Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400 Dual Core Mobile Processor

The Toshiba G450 is exactly what I would buy today. It’s an all in one device. It works as a modem, phone, MP3 player and USB memory stick. Plug it into your computer and enjoy the element you were looking for.

Toshiba had me at modem and phone. That’s what I need for my mobility. The stick is also good and the MP3 player could also be very useful. It has a battery which will get you extra life when you most need it. The battery gets juice every time you connect it to your computer. You need a SIM card from your favorite carrier to make this stick work. The G450 is bigger than your regular stick. It has a screen and two rotary keypads. You can make calls and sens SMS messages.

The stick offers only 160MB of storage space so you won’t get that many songs on this MP3 player. The price you ask? Only £140 in the UK but I say it’s worth it.

After I showed you the dual USB memory stick/bottle opener I definitely have to show you another memory stick mixed with alcohol. This time the beer will be inside the USB stick and not splashed around it. Budweiser’s Beer Drive looks interesting and it should head straight to AA meetings.

Besides beer you can have the stick in any other colors with any other logos on it. The USB stick should also come packed with various digital information related to your promotion. So if you’re a big compay, with lots of money available for publicity and some sense of humor, you might start ordering these USB sticks. They come in all sorts and sizes, but you’d have to order from 250 pieces and up. Maximum capacity is 8GB but it can go as low as 128MB.

The USB memory stick which also works as a bottle opener is an inventive yet inefficient idea. Following a logical line of thinking you would end up realizing that if you desperately need a bottle opener with you at all times, then you shouldn’t mix one with an USB stick. In other words you’re likely to loose the stick after one too many beers. Because I am sure you won’t realize you need to get that beer opener in your pocket when heading for home.

However if you fancy this TrekStor creation then head to Europe. It’s there where where USB users lack bottle openers. You can choose various models, from 1 to 16GB and they will cost you from about $10 to $71.

This one is for the Apple fanatics out there. How would you like to get this USB memory stick? No matter if you own an iPod owner or if you are one of the three guys that bought a Zune, you might still like this USB stick.

The USB stick’s exterior is made of silicon so you won’t lose the cap. You might break it as you will be surely playing with it from time to time. The stick will come in two versions, 1GB and 2GB and it will sell for around $40 or $50 depending on what version you will choose. The pricing is actually in British Pounds so it could change daily depending on conversion (£19.95 1GB, £24.95 2GB). And you will have to know this iPod USB stick knows USB 2 which will get you faster transfers. Add the design and the money is worth it.

When you get tired of it simply throw it away to an eBay user. These weird things must sell like hot cakes if advertised correctly!
