Hershey chocoholics might want to steer clear of this concept device, as it might make them crave the lusciousness of sweet milk chocolate even more. Each piece of this portable HDD is a modular flash drive, which allows users to chunk their info together to produce one large mega-drive.

The central display is a touchscreen that helps you manage your files and keep tabs on which flash drive is what. If it wasn’t sure to be so expensive, I might even consider eating this device with a tall glass of milk. — Andrew Dobrow

There aren’t too many USB drives that can be described as being blasphemous, but the Virgin Mary flash drive is truly a sight to be seen. We don’t know how we feel about the Virgin having a male input, but adding in a blinking heart for when the device is plugged in was a good touch.

Inscribed on the halo shaped sign above the drive, it says “Oh, Maria. Keep My Data Safe.” This is not a drive for atheists, and might not attract religious nuts either. We guess it could make a decent gag gift? The price of 69 euros is a nice touch too. — Andrew Dobrow

Everybody has their own Apple predictions and this announcement will do nothing, but add to the speculation. It’s being reported that Apple is planning to order 500 million Samsung NAND flash drives by the end of the month. Now, what could they be doing with all of that damn flash?

Sources say that the acquired flash drives will be used in the iPhone and the iPod, which would confirm the appearance of a flash drive in the ever-popular media player. Specifically, the source sites iPods made between June 2007 (around the release of the iPhone) and December 2007 (just in time for a new iPod model release for Christmas?). One theory points at a 6th generation video iPod, another points towards an iPhone without the phone part. Perhaps a touch screen iPod? Whatever it will be, we are eagerly awaiting. — Andrew Dobrow
