USB Aromatherapy Oil Burner: No memory though!

By Andrew | February 7, 2008

I told you earlier as well that I’m in love with multipurpose gadgets. The purpose for picking this scented USB Aromatherapy Oil Burner was just that I thought it was one of those multipurpose gadgets but unfortunately it was not. Febreze is a USB drive look alike that works like a Aroma Therapy Oil Burner. Since I saw it for the first time so preferred telling all of you about it…just a piece of info… may be!
All you need to have the sweet smell of rose all around is put a few drops of the aroma oil that comes along into the USB and then insert it into your PC’s port.
Just as you do it, space around your workstation will start smelling of roses soothing your mind and take away all the depression I you are going through with any as rose oil is considered to have unique anti-depressant qualities.
This is not where the smell story of the USB Aromatherapy Oil Burner USB ends, the smell also have some aphrodisiac qualities to make a beautiful gift this valentine. (I’m afraid if your man will be able to concentrate on work when this USB drive is on work!)
If rose is not your pick, you can also pick from the jasmine and peppermint burners that come in yellow and green colours. I wish they would have packed in some memory space also…it could have been a rocking air freshner then…isn’t?
Price: $5.99

USB takes animal avatars

By Andrew | January 27, 2008

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.

A great gift for your geel friend to make storing data a fun thing rather than the monotonous routine task!Via: getUSB

Precious USB keys from Zana

By Andrew | January 26, 2008

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!

What?… Memory space…yes, the USB can store your impotant fils together with providing you the desired heat when you plan to take a fag. 

Quite innovative…must say!
