Memory Stick Earrings

Like any sane person (well, no one's managed to successfully section me so far) I'm not entirely convinced by technology jewellery. Some of it is better than others, but the majority of it falls into the latter category. And it's into the category of "others" that this latest bit of technology jewellery surely has to fall. Pretec (makers of those super tiny pink USB keys) has come up with these earring and pendant memory sticks for its latest wheeze. The flash storage devices are the smallest around and the company has cobbled them into jewellery without really bothering to make the front side appealing (hint: try taking the huge Pretec logo off). Still, being able to make my friends impressed by whipping off my earrings to transfer some files does appeal (for "impressed" read "vomit in horror").
