Even the best of us have some legendary lapses of memory, including forgetting where we put the cap to our USB flash drive. The TwinMOS Mobile Disk P1 solves this problem by not even including a cap, instead opting for a sliding mechanism.

The device by TwinMOS also has a slick mirrored surface and 6 multicolored LED lights which glow when the device is in use. The device has full cross platform support, so it should work with any OS you’re working with, as long as its using USB 2.0 ports, which by now, you must be. — Andrew Dobrow

USB flash drive design as become out of control. In this rather unique design, you get a “thumb” drive in every sense of the word. In this image we found, you can see the detail put into this thing. It’s actually kind of gross.

We’re going to wait to purchase a finger themed USB flash drive until the middle finger version comes out, which we expect will be more than 256mb of flash memory. — Andrew Dobrow
