The Memory Bracelet

After the $7,950 gadget, let's get back to more affordable and handy things. And when I say handy, I mean today's device can be worn as a bracelet.

As you can see in the image, this is
a more special USB stick, which is attachable to the wrist.

This way, instead of having a gigantic silver bracelet or a hippy style textile one, you may choose to carry your vital data at all times.

Imation's Flash Wristband comes in two color versions, blue and black, and has a capacity of 256 MB, which is enough for a few MP3s, photos or vital documents.

Although bigger capacities would be enticing, Imation compensates this drawback with a high transfer speed, the Flash Wristband being compatible with the USB 2.0 standard.

Although the producer suggests that the locking mechanism (which also allows it to be attached to handbags or rucksacks) is extremely resistant, we are not able to tell you if it would resist an 'accidental' attempt to tear it off the wrist.
