SpyDisk Pen Not Only for Spies

This picture has attract my attention rather than the article’s title. I do not intend to become a spy or to steal secret documents, but I like these fancy USB gadgets. I have always found interesting pens with additional functions, a lot more this one.
The SpyDisk is a Japanese invention and very ingenious. It combines the basic function of writing with the utility of being a data storage disk. The ballpoint pen looks normally but it transforms in a USB easily. It features 512 MB of memory and also can read SD/MMC cards. The SpyDisk is available in Japan for just 4,800 yen or $41. Have fun!

[…] No creemo, con la fotografía a la vista, que sean necesarias demasiadas explicaciones, pero por si acaso allá van: SpyDisk es un bolígrafo, que además de valer para firmar importantes documentos es un pendrive de 512 megas y un lector de tarjetas de memoria (como las quer llevan las cámaras digitales, por ejemplo). Por si alguien lo dudaba, sí, el SpyDisk es un invento japonés, que nosotros hemos encontrado en Devicepedia […]

This is so cool. If it only played the theme music to the Mission: Impossible TV show it would be a bargain at twice the price!
