Love It or Leave It? Ballpoint Pen With USB Drive

Pens are prime targets when it comes to built-in devices like spycams or flashlights. Now Digix from Korea is incorporating USB functionality into the standard ballpoint pen. Showcased on Geek Alerts, these pens come with a 1GB USB memory drive for all your on-the-go storage needs. Use as an actual pen or pop off the top cap to use the USB plug. Available in black, blue, red, and silver. Prices not released yet. I like the concept but the pens aren't exactly what I'd classify as glamorous. If they had a sleeker body I'd be all for them. What are your thoughts?

    I love the idea of this, the only problem is that I might lose it. Although I might lose a thumb drive too. lol

    Ehh...I don't really see the point of this. Pens and those USB drive thingies are small and convenient enough as they are.

    I like them. A friend/business associate of mine had one at a meeting the other week. It totally impressed everyone. Really stood out.

    Certainly much better looking than those lanyards. I wish they had better colors though.

    Great concept. I hope the pen doesn't write cheap.

    What happens when the pen stops working or runs out of ink, can you replace the ink? Also who doesn't drop pens all the time or tap them on the desk, things you shouldn't do with the usb stick.

    I like these, especially the black and silver ones, though I really think they should make a purple one... more things should come in purple.

    I'm always losing my pens ... or having someone "borrow" them ... I'll leave it.

    Since I always lose my pens anywhere, this is a really stupid idea. So, I'd leave it.

    I would use it if I had one but I guess that is what makes me such a geek.

    I got these for all the men in my life for Fathers Day! It was a great hit! I got a good lot of them on e-bay for about 50 buck and they were all 1GB

    People would think I'm rude because I wouldn't let anyone borrow my pen.
