I am sucker for USB flash drives. The cooler it looks the more I’d want to get it. What I should be looking is storage space and transfer speeds right? Wrong! I evaluate the overall visual impression.

And today I found an USB sandal flash drive which would remind me of summer. If you’re happy with just 2GB of memory then go pick a sandal up. You can always get a pair of those if you need more space. The 2GB Sandal USB Flash Drive costs just $17. I’ll have a size 9 and 1/2 please!

You got to give it to Iomega. Here’s what they have for us, a 1TB external hard drive, very much ready and very much ready to be purchased. For $269.95 this baby is yours to have. You get the Super eGo which is a single 1TB HDD, with USB 2.0 port and a one year warranty. It comes in three colors, ruby red, midnight blue and jet black or, the way I like to call them, red, blue and black.

Add a MacBook Air to it and a high speed internet connection and download everything you want. Legal downloads only of course!

For whatever reason, man has started to make smaller and smaller things. When it comes to electronics and gadgets that’s a good thing. Smaller means easier to carry around, easier to use at all times. It also leads to efficiency as better time management as one would be able to perform his duties at any time.

After I showed you a Wester Digital external HDD that can easily be added to your key chain, now we have a flash memory which can get lost in your coins jar. When I think of memory solutions, I think SanDisk even if there are others out there quite as good or better. They have announced today the availability of SanDisk Mobile Ultra, microSD, microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2) flash mobile memory cards. They come in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB depending on your needs. SanDisk will enhance your smartphone’s performance by allowing you to add more memory space for your documents, maps, videos and music. And they look good.

But what I like most is the extra MobileMateâ„¢ Micro Reader that plugs directly into your USB 2.0. Just plug your microSD in and then your new stick goes into your USB for fast download. Oh yeah, that’s what I almost forgot. Download and upload speeds have been significantly improved or so they say.
Tell me if you find it anywhere for a price lower than their suggested $119.99.
