Friday Fun - Gadgets

I really like flash drives, I have a 1 Gig unit that I carry on my key chain and recently I got a Pen from DataFlux that has a 256 Meg drive built right into the pen. Its remarkable how fast we forget that back in the old days you had to use a disk that only held 1.3 Meg. The only draw back is I forget how much I have on my drives and sometimes when I want to put something on them I'm surprised to see that they are full.

So, I have found a solve to the problem check out http://www.plusminus.ru/flashbag.html. A Russian site that invented USB Drives that enlarge as you put data on them. The size of the device changes depending on the amount of data it holds. When the device is about to blow up you will see the familiar error message on your screen: "There is not enough free space".

When switched off the flashbag remains pumped up, so you can estimate with the naked eye how much more pics, books and music albums can be transferred into it.

Way Cool!!!!

Here is the 2 best selling models they offer, I really like the Sponge Bob Square Pants model.
