Porsche is shipping a limited number of Panamera USB flash drives and we’ve got the pictures.  It’s clearly a drive with a great amount of detail and pristine looking Porches logo on the USB cap.

It’s not clear if this is a marketing piece for Porsche or things to come about how we interface with the cars.  Wouldn’t it be nice however, to have a USB key to start your car, upload recent maps, download car statistics and diagnostic information, sync MP3 files with your stereo.  Seems to me the term USB key has been accepted quite nicely by everyone BUT the car manufacturers.

We believe the capacity is 4GBs, but has not been confirmed.

Get your fashion on with some flash storage.  There couldn’t be much more to this tag line for the USB comb.

Keep you data tighty and keep your person tighty.

Carry your files with flair.

I care about my hair and the data I wear.

Should I keep going?

Not.

I had doubts putting this post up today.  Honestly it’s just for the pure novelty of it all.  Brando has a USB Ferris Wheel for your office.  Yes, that’s right, a ferris wheel to make your work day just that much more fun.

The problem is how annoying the USB toy really is.  You’ll either throw it out the window or you’re co-workers will.  I’m not even sure if kids would enjoy this after 3 or 4 seconds.

I can’t post the video of the USB Ferris Wheel working, but click over to the Brando site and check it out yourself.

I really shouldn’t have posted this useless USB novelty.  [$30 + shipping]

Could this be a military technology booby-trap?  Doubt it, but it would be cool that’s for sure.

The Hand Grenade USB drive is your classic gadget gift for that x-military relative or friend who can’t get enough of the History channel.

Available in four colors [white, blue, orange, black] and different GB capacities.

The starting price is $20 of 4GB storage from Gadget For All.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a USB tattoo and it isn’t the first time we’ve asked ourselves “why?”  But here we are…asking that question again:

Is it me, or does this arm look like it belongs to a woman?  Interesting.

MSN did an interesting article on the top 15 tech tattoos – which is the full story – check it out.

Did I miss something?  Somehow we jumped from cheap knock off gadget sunglasses with USB to Calvin Klein doing expensive sunglasses with USB.  Have we been so bombarded with USB gadget crap, that now mainstream designers are jumping on board…thinking they are missing something?

I think my theory is right.  Look at these Calvin Klein sunglasses that sport a 4GB detachable arm.

A second theory could be this poor economy and now the big boys are reaching for just about anything.  Either way, it just seems wrong, even to a guy who likes USB stuff.

BTW – Aren’t sunglass arms already flimsy enough?  Now we’ve got a detachable arm.  Just doesn’t seem right.

A dude named Robotic Evil introduced a new version of his Atari USB case collection.  This time an Atari 2600 cartridge.  Bulky in design, but cool in style the USB Atari case is getting 2GB of inserted flash memory.

Given the size of the cartridge, it might be more appropriate to stuff a Western Digital Passport USB hard drive in there and really make some good use of the space.

I also think he could tip the scale of coolness with a retractable USB cable rather than the clunky one attached.

However; kudos to Robotic Evil for even thinking it up in the first place.
