This looks a lot better than the flip flops I have with the bottle opener in the bottom.]]> If you’re going to carry around a USB thumb drive that has a bunch of data on it, you might as well choose one that offers more in terms of functionality than mere data storage. After all, with so many brands out there putting out thumb drives and with the cost of storage dropping so low, you need to look beyond simple aesthetics.

The TrekStor USB thumb drive doubles as a bottle opener. Yep, it can store between 1GB and 16GB of data, and it can open up your frosty brews as well. Make it your keychain and you’ll always have whatever data you want with you, be it documents or media files, and you’ll never be searching for a bottle opener again. It makes regular old thumb drives look downright featureless in comparison.

This is just cool! ]]> Wireless USB to VGA? Hello, IOGEAR. Said outfit has just revealed the world’s first Wireless USB to VGA kit that enables users to extend or clone their desktop to another monitor sans wires. Certified by the USB-IF, this unit enables any machine with a spare USB port to stream video to a TV or projector with resolutions as high as 720p. So long as your USB dongle is plugged into your machine and the VGA adapter is connected to a display, you’ll be good to go within a 30-foot radius. According to IOGEAR, the product is only compatible with Windows XP 32-bit or Vista 32- / 64-bit, but those with no qualms about that can grab one next month for $229.95.
