Flash Memory for Your Body

New twists on USB flash drives abound here at CES. Imation, for example, showed me its Flash Wristband, a USB flash drive that's made of a water-resistant, rubberized material that loops around to form a bracelet. Here's what it looks like:



This sporty looking drive is designed to be worn, be it on your wrist, or interconnected with your backpack or briefcase. The unit will be available in a range of capacities--details have yet to be announced--starting with a 256MB model at $35. It comes in colors, too: a dreamy sky blue and basic black. The device will be sold exclusively at Target.

In a similar vein, Imation also introduced its 4GB Micro Hard Drive (below). The $189 drive looks like a padlock and has rubberized material that loops over the top and locks into place, so you can secure it around whatever surface you choose. Lock on!
