So, right now I am watching PI on her hands & knees on the floor in the office. Accompanied with this ‘all fours’ position is ongoing squeals of “Yay” and “Awesome!”

The source of her joy? A Skateboard shaped 4GB 2.0 USB drive, believe it or not. However, if you have a look at the images, you’ll perhaps understand the enthusiasm as the device is actually rather cool in a World where USB drives seldom inspire enthusiasm for their design. With working wheels and funky graffiti design this USB drive pleases us on all levels.

With Dane-Elec trademark common sense in their designs, this USB drive sports a Lanyard piercing on the side of the Skateboard that ensures that even if the (very secure) cover goes missing (think earthquake to dislodge that, accidently) you’ll still have all your precious files with you.

Compatible with almost the full spectrum of operating systems from both PC to Mac (Windows 7 & Mac OS9.x upwards incl), this groovy little USB packs a punch when it comes to storage capacity. If, like myself, you’re a keen photographer, you can upload some 1000 8MP photo’s (MPEG3) or up to 6hrs of MPEG4 files.

Never one to let you down, Dane-Elec also offer you a 5 year warranty on the product.

Frankly, when it comes to USB Drives and Funky, Dane-Elec have scored with us :-)

RRP for the SkateDrive - 2GB - £14.99, 4GB - £19.99 and 8GB - £27.99. Also available in SnowBoard designs
