53 Amazing USB Gadgets (Part I)

— June 5, 2008 — Art & Design
These days, it seems everyone has at least one flash drive. The problem with that, and any object that's become ubiquitous, is that its gets boring to have something ordinary. After all, when was the last time you saw someone with just a plain old ring for their keys?

Since USBs leave so much room for creativity, however, why settle for something boring when you can have something as fun as those featured in this gallery? If aesthetics aren't enough to sway you, perhaps neat functionality is; the super gallery shows everything from USB pregnancy tests to USB cufflinks. In fact, there are so many innovative designs, we had to split our 90 trends down to two parts, the second half is embedded below.
