Calvin Klein USB Sunglasses For Geeks

We’ve all seen the huge range of products that have been made into USB devices. Whether it’s a real old twig that can store computer data, or possibly a broken piece of wire that won’t get stolen as much. There are thousands of strange USB sticks out there, and there is now a new addition to the list.

This latest addition to the wacky USB stick list is a pair of sunglasses, Calvin Klein sunglasses to be precise. You might be wondering how they managed to fit a USB stick into a pair of glasses and still make them look fashionable. Although it doesn’t make a great deal of sense why, it’s quite cool how they have managed it. They have added the USB storage into the end of the right arm of the glasses. All you have to do is pull the end of the arm off, plug it into your PC and then it can store a massive 4GB of data, not bad for a pair of 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, 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 biggest and most obvious downside to these glasses is that once you start using the USB storage, you can’t wear them at the same time, unless you are able to use the one arm and balance them on your head. 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 have their advantages and disadvantages, and if you really don’t want to carry around a seperate memory stick with you, this would be your best option. However, they will set you back 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.
