We’ve all seen the huge range of products that have been made into USB devices. Whether it’s a fake piece of broken wire to deter thieves, or maybe a real stick that can store 2GB of memory. There are hundreds of strange designs out there and now the list of wacky USB devices now has a new addition.
The new wacky device is a pair of sunglasses, Calvin Klein sunglasses to be correct. You might be think, how did they manage to fit a 4GB USB stick into a pair of designer sunglasses and still make them look good. Well, it’s pretty cool the way they have implemented it, although it doesn’t make alot of sense why, the idea is cool. They have added the USB storage into the end of the right arm of the glasses. All you need to do is pull off the arm, plug it into your PC, Mac, Laptop or Netbook and then you are able to store a massive 4GB of memory onto the glasses.
Athough it seems strange to add a USB into something like sunglasses, but it does give them a unique selling point over a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses. Although, when you think about it, say you are on a beach and using a laptop or netbook and you require some extra storage, simply dismantle your sunglasses and store away.
Of course the biggest disadvantage to them is that once you need to use the data storage, you are not able to use the sunglasses, unless you can balance them on your face using only 1 arm. Also, I assume they have made the connection holding the arm together strong otherwise as you remove the sunglasses, the arm might fall apart, not something you want on a beach. Also, I’m not sure if the USB is waterproof because if you’re using them on the beach, you don’t want to loose all your data if you get splashed, you certainly wouldn’t have that problem with Police sunglasses.
I guess they have their advantages and disadvanatges, and if you really can’t be bothered to carry around a tiny memory stick, then this is perfect for you. However, they will set you back a fair bit. $199 is how much they will cost, I assume you are paying the majority of that for the glasses and not the 4GB storage.
