Yes! It's the jellybean USB Flash drive

Definitely an add-on to keep well away from young kids, it's the jelly bean USB Flash drive from Hong Kong-based Brando - though the company reckons its more like a pill than a sweetie.

Brando USB Flash drive 'pill'

Available in a choice of red, yellow or green, the 2GB drive measures roughly 6.5 x 2 x 2cm. Brando wants $35 (£26/€18) a pill, so buying enough to fill a jar - not included - could set you back a bob or two. But then you'd always have a USB Flash drive when you needed one...

And if you did swallow? We're sure the pill will survive its alimentary adventure unscathed, though we wouldn't relish cleaning it afterward. Wolf down a curry and it'd be out in... er... a Flash.

Buy as many as you like from Brando's website.

With that size...

This Yank Is Going to Buy Several

I take an inordinate amount of meds (albeit for breast cancer, not recreation), which can get really annoying if one doesn't maintain a sense of humor about it... So I think these are hysterical and will go ahead and buy several just so I can keep them in a jar like that. At least my friends and I will get it. :)

Hey, it's not often laptop hardware causes smiles... Can't pass it up when it happens.

Yanks comment?

Sorry, wasn't aware that all yanks have a drug problem.. sounds more like something you'd think other people thought was a problem, but you're so out of touch that you don't actually know what we *do* think are the problems.. that's one of the problems.. ;) But seriously, when I think of medication I don't tend to think of America. If you said cocaine then sure, but pills, not so much :P

C'mon, no yanks comments yet!

We are known as the pill-popping, drug controlled, zombie nation of idiots aren't we? Not one crack about us yanks confusing this drive for our Zanex (sp?) or Lortab or Topomax or some other pill the drug companies swear will cure all our ills?

Sorry, I hate drug companies and the doctors that are in their pockets, I saw this as an opportunity to rant....forgive me.

Why are there no pill-shaped USB drives in France?

Because Paracetamol!
