Darth Vader Returns Unmasked in Mimobot Series 4

admin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:43:48 +0000

The fourth series of Mimoco’s Star Wars Mimobot line of designer flash drives has landed. Without much fanfare, the latest installment of the series celebrates the tenth anniversary of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace although none of the characters featured in the themed drives appeared in the said movie. Mimoco brought back Darth Vader, and cut his ears that were found on the original version in the first of the Star Wars themed Mimobot series. This should be a relief for fans.

Unmasking the Darth Vader reveals the scarred countenance of Anakin Skywalker, as played by Hayden Christensen. And one in every six Vader’s will have the classic Anakin face. Either of them is simply more authentic and better looking than the original Darth Vader with dreadful pointy ears. The series also comprises Darth Maul, and Captain Rex whose helmet can also be removed to find the clone’s face beneath. Mimoco so far has created sixteen different Star Wars themed collectible drives.

USB Bookmarks – Great Gift for Bookworms

You can find no less than a dozen of flash drives in disguise on Everything USB. Among them are Autobots, Canon DSLR, Resident Evil chainsaw, Beijing Olympics medallion, LaCie CurrenKey, and classic Mahjoing tile.

Today, Tokyo-based Solid Alliance adds one more to the list with its USB bookmark drives. Actually there are two of them: one mimics a pair of glasses (a.k.a. Four Eyes) and the other is shaped like a feather (officially called Wisdom). Both have 2GB memory, and have a very slim profile for obvious reasons. Both will be sold for 3,890 yen (or $40 USD) at which price you can get a uber-fast 4GB flash drive.

LaCie Core7 – Recession-proof USB Hub

LaCie’s USB hub with its round base allowing it to wobble back and forth certainly raises eyebrows. While it certainly is high in artistic value, but unfortunately scores low in usability tests. But the peripheral maker hasn’t given up yet. It now returns with a USB hub designed with users in mind. The aptly-named Core7 7-port USB hub isn’t quite as eye-catching as its predecessor, yet it comes with several user-friendly features as well as a recession-proof pricing.

For starter, the Core7 sports the same compact design as Little Disk; it can be laid flat on a desktop can be hung on a wall. Five ports are located on the recessed area beneath the Core7; one port on top is for flash drives and portable hard drives that require quick and easy access. A tethered mini-USB cable which replaced one of the ports can recharge compatible MP3 players and cellphones, but it can also connect to USB gadgets with a mini-B interface. Perhaps what’s most important here is the pricing. At 19.99 MSRP, the Core7 hub will appeal to a lot more people than the wobbling hub.

Transforming USB Flash Memory (2 GB)

Coming just in time to greet the Transformers’ Sequel trailers is this Ravage Transformer flash drive. Movie tie in flash drives are becoming common place and may some day be just as important as a mouse. One of the best things about custom flash drives like this is the ability to separate them visually and keep track of what data is on them. My NIN MP3 collection would definitely be on the Resident Evil Chainsaw drive and Rampage here would have to hold our Portable Anti-virus software. We’re not sure what data goes on a USB Sushi drive but once you decide on it you’re bound to remember it.

This new transformer drive makes these old ones look like Go-bots. Cold, but true. Ravage holds 2GBs of data and is rated for USB2.0 connections. Actual memory speed is unknown. Of course you can probably expect much better throughput if you connect Ravage to Optimus Prime. Manufacturer’s warranty is void though if you merge him with the All Spark. NB this is an adult toy, not made for children, more for collectors. To suite the collectors they offer special shipping that guaratees the quality of the packaging for those out there that aren’t looking to play with it or use it out of the package. Either way you order it, it’s not due to arrive until September but will only $42.99.
