I find that very strange of finding this article knowing that this concept is on my Coroflot since about six months (cf the link below)

I think this version is an anti-design solution:
– the key overtakes of a stack of file and it is all that we want to avoid by putting a paper clip in the place of a plier
– the most sensitive part of the USB key ( the electric contacts) is, besides being towards the outside, completely exposed to the possible damages
The USB pendrivers are old.
The present is on the air. Wireless. Only internet.

Thomas, it seems that Nendo had something you didnt.
A client.
cutesy, and could work as a marketing gimmick, but I really wonder if it would work day to day.
well presented
the elecom site says ‘this is not to be used as a clip’ – so, maybe dont use to gather ‘all your important files together’.
Nice and slim flash
not a functional design as either a clip or a usb storage device.
It used to be thermometers, then LCD clocks; now flash drives.
Take a design classic (single material, single process, compact, easy-come-easy-go) then remove what made it great. Strip the protection away from the electrical contacts. Hmm.
I don’t see the point of it.
I see what people are saying about the exposed electronics. but if that is not a problem, then I definitely see the point of it!! USBs are small enough to lose easily but awkward enough to be annoying to carry around, so something like this is brilliant. I am thinking especially of at conferences…. maybe college students too, for handing in work…
technology getting easier for users. love it..
