My Current Gadget Crush
This Iomega eGo portable hard drive. It holds 160 GB -- it swallowed my entire life's work and didn't burp. Yeah, it's also 160 bucks, so it's probably not the ideal bucks-to-GBs ratio. But it's such a happy red! And look carefully -- you can see it's curved, like a hip flask. It's a flask full of delicious data!

I'm waiting for the sentient flash drives that you can buy in pairs, so they can play millions of games of chess against each other over a matter of seconds.
I'd call it the BoloDrive.

I don't get what it is. What does it hold?
I'm confused.

Data. It's just a portable hard drive in a whimsical form factor...

I'm diggin' my eGo. Picked it up online for less than $130! Love the look! Some of the guys think it's a flask when they first see it. I tell 'em it holds a lot more than 16 ounces of the good stuff! Iomega announced a 250GB version that's coming up as well as a dual USB/Firewire inteface model. Sweeeeeet!
