We’ve all seen the massive range of items that have been turned into USB sticks. Whether it’s a real twig that can store 2GB of data, or maybe a broken piece of wire that deter thieves. There are hundreds out there are now there is a new addition to the list of wacky USB devices.
The new addition is a pair of sunglasses, Calvin Klein sunglasses if you really want to know. 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 the end of the arm off, plug it into either your PC, laptop, Mac or netbook, and then you will be able to store a massive 4GB of memory into the frame of your sunglasses.
Although it does seem a little strange to include a USB stick into some glasses, it does give Kalvin Klein a unique selling point over a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses. Although, once you start thinking of the advantages, if you were on a beach for example and require some extra storage space for your laptop, all you would need to do is pull apart your sunglasses and then you can store up to 4GB.
Of course, the obvious disadvantage is that once you starting using the USB storage, you can no longer wear the sunglasses. Also, the connection to hold the arm as one must have to be strong or it could fall apart as you take the sunglasses off. 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 upsides and downsides and if you really do want a pair so you don’t have to carry around an actual USB stick around with you, then these are perfect. However, they will cost you a fair bit. $199 is how much they will cost, although that’s priced high, I imagine you are paying mainly for the sunglass part and not the 4GB storage.
