02Calvin Klein USB Sunglasses
Tagged Under : cheap glasses, designer glasses, glasses, sunglasses
We all know there is a huge range of products that people have modified 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 of strange designs out there and now the list of wacky USB devices now has a new addition.
The new addition is a pair of sunglasses, Calvin Klein sunglasses to be correct. 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. Although it doesn’t make a great deal of sense why, it’s quite cool how they have managed it. They have included the USB stick and storage into the end of the right arm of the sunglasses. All you need to do is pull off the arm, plug it into your PC, Mac, Laptop or Netbook and then you are able to store a massive 4GB of memory onto the glasses.
Athough it seems strange to add a USB into something like sunglasses, but it does give them a unique selling point over a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses. Although, when you think about it, say you are on a beach and using a laptop or netbook and you require some extra storage, simply dismantle your sunglasses and store away.
Of course the major disadvantage to this product is that once you start using the USB storage, you are unable to wear them, unless you can balance them on your head using 1 and a half arms. Also, I imagine that the connection to hold the arm together is strong otherwise as you remove the glasses, the arm could fall apart. 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 the glasses do have some upsides, although they have a number of downsides too, and if you really don’t want to carry around a seperate memory stick, then these are perfect for you. 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.
