USB Mamory from SolidAlliance

SolidAlliance's oddball product line continues to grow. The "USB Mamory," which is actually a play on words for an "Omamori," a Japanese good luck charm. Omamori are typically small cloth bags with traditional patterns and something inside of them; nobody is supposed to know what's inside, because actually opening them is considered bad luck. On top of that, losing your Omamori is supposed to cause a guilty conscience. SolidAlliance has chosen to combine these two elements with USB
memory, saying that the USB Mamory will enjoy an extra layer of data security because "Japanese people won't go opening an Omamori to find out what's inside." And you'll also be more careful about losing the thing, since you wouldn't want to feel guilty now, would you? Available in 512MB and 1GB versions, the USB Mamory is set to start shipping in Japan from October 28th. You'll also be able to order just the bag itself for around ¥2,980 ($26 USD).
