An Airplane-Shaped USB Drive Makes you Feel Like a Pilot

And here's another funny-shaped USB for the funny-shaped USB lovers out there. As usual, there's nothing really special about the device per se, technologically speaking; it's all about the shape. You've got a USB drive looking like an airplane, then you're making a statement about yourself and about the way you perceive life and stuff. In other words, you don't take it really seriously.

Whether this analysis applies to your case or not, here's what you can do with this USB drive, besides building on your not-by-the-book personal image. There are a lot of things that can be crammed inside 8GB worth of storage space, even if, nowadays, we're used to having much larger cargo holds than this, at least in our laptops or non-portable computing or gaming systems. 1GB worth of MP3s should be more than enough to quench a user's musical thirst during the average bus trip. As for movies, sure, you can't carry a whole collection on an 8GB USB drive, but you can still load a trilogy there, plus some episodes from that sit com that everyone's watching right now (yes, you too, even if you're ashamed of falling with the crowd).

The plane shape is not the most ergonomic ever, but at least all of its corners and edges have been smoothed, so you don't get stung by some part of the fuselage while bumping into someone. While not as tiny as other USB drives, this one is small enough to be carried around with ease: 67 x 30 x 25mm.

Of course, the device can be good pals with the contemporary popular OS trio: Windows, Mac OS and Linux. If this little fellow caught your fancy, or if you're an airplane pilot and you feel like you need to reinforce your air-jockey image with the ladies, then feel free to look it up on Chinavision. And don't forget to bring 24 USD with you.
