It seems the USB drive makers are getting too much into innovasion as they are experimenting a great deal with the way they look. Its not just the material used tat is being challenged but also the shapes and sizes that they are available in. Sometime back we talked about the Wooden and precious stone encrusted USB drives and today we have come across the funky animal drives from the house of Minimoo

They are no better than the usual stuff apart from the fact that they  are good enough to bring a smile on your face everytime you use one. Those which caught my fancy include the unique Turtle Goran, Fredrick, the USB gorilla, Jan the USB sheep and Maud the USB pig.
The USB drives are available in 1, 2 & 4GB space at the price that range between between $43-$75.

If the current trends are considered, it won’t be wrong to say that more than an object of technical utility a USB drive is turning into a fashion statement.
Check out the latest jazzy collection of USB drives from the house of Zana Designes, and you’ll agree what I’m saying.
Their unusual series of USB keys have everything from wood designs to silver linings to those encrusted with “precious stones”. This is not where the uniqueness of these keys gets exhausted; they boast their products to be totally handmade, adding in the element of personal touch and uniqueness to every individual key. Also, no two keys are identical, which means every one using the Zana product is unique in their own way.

As far as storage goes, the USB keys are available in 1gb or 2gb capacities, and are priced anywhere between $64 to $74 for the 2GB versions. Of course, $74 for 2Gb is way overpriced but these USB keys do look kind of luxurious. Hmm…quite a lavish way to store data!

Don’t know if anyone would actually find any unique feature in the USB drive other than the looks. Designed as a prototype of an iPod, this one is cute and different.

It’s just like storing your data not on the ipod but on the little version of your music machine, with the only difference that on these iPod will also store those files that your iPod fails to do.

Available at FruitShop this one is one of their funky drives that are sure to bring a smile on your face every time you use the cute tiny iPod drive flashing it’s eyes at you.

To plug them inside your comp you just need to bend them and plug. Don’t worry! They don’t break as the USB drives are made in soft and flexible material. Each drive comes home with a easy to handle electric strap and covered with a removable silicone case that’s soft to the touch.
Now this is not where the story ends, they are available in three funky colors, black, white and pink. No info available about the price as yet.
