New USB Designs Are Nothing More Than Lame

Written by Richard Blanchard on April 14th, 2008. Posted in USB Prototype Design

Cruising around last night, I found CoolBuzz posting some new USB designs – which are far from Cool Buzz.  (sorry guys).  Lets take a look:

I like the idea of convergence, but a cyber-latte which “fills up” during USB data loading is a little rediculous.  Maybe good for a 2nd grader who needs to understand the concept, but I think we are all savvy enough to check capacity using the properties function.

Next up, and along the same line would be the hourglass and pie-chart shape.  Wouldn’t you love to have that pie-chart sticking out the side of your laptop?  Introducing a heating plate on that huge platter to keep your latte warm might be worth it, but even then a hard sell. The hourglass?   Come on.  No comment there.

The only product I could see working is the Empty or Full USB device, and this would only work in one niche market.  NASCAR.
