I am not a fan of wearable USB gadgetry of any description. I am fairly comfortable with the geek label, but this sort of thing is a journey back to our pocket protector wearing roots. Put a memory stick on a keyring, that is fine, but something that I have to wear around my wrist and that is bright orange smacks of, “this is attached to me so I don’t lose it.”
I will not take a rain check on the Flash Band USB, I will never buy anything that is close to resembling one of these. The Flash Band USB says to me that you have given up hope in ever finding a mate, that you are married and just don’t care anymore or that you don’t know any better. You may be interested to know that they come with 2GB of memory and look about as classy sticking out of your computer as they do around your wrist.
Available from where else but Amazon for the low, low price of $25.69.

Hey i was given one of these by Elonex at the Education Show in Birmingham, UK and i have to say i really like them.
Yes it may be geeky and yes it may say “i also lose stuff” but whats wrong with that? I am confident that i won’t lose this and will not leave it in a machine which has become a regularity with the other keyring types.
Maybe i just don’t care what my wristband says about me after all its the person who looks at it and makes any kind of assumption that has the problem.

looks nice idea but it is really plastic and cheap.
Especially from “China Vasion” ..
