usb-bracelet
If you a student you always need access to your electronic files and data when you're working away from your desks -- in a computer lab, at the library, or at a friend's home. So why not make access stylish, too?
The idea is a bracelet that conceals a USB storage drive (from 1GB to 16 GB) for anytime, easy access to digital files. USB bracelets have a casual look that's geared for teenagers and kids -- and functionality that any computer geek on the go can appreciate.

Digital bracelets for music industry
Forget your heart you could soon be wearing your favourite band's album on your sleeve.
A $35 USB wristband loaded with former Girlfriend singer Robyn Loau's album will hit stores next month, with more artists to follow.
Loau's Malaria: the Lost Album has music tracks, a Josh G Abrahams remix, documentaries and videos, and plugs into a computer for download to MP3 players.
It will be the first Australian studio album sold in a USB bracelet. In the US, Matchbox Twenty, Linkin Park, the Rolling Stones, George Michael and Ringo Starr have been the first artists to embrace USB albums.
In April, Matchbox Twenty sold fans USB wristbands of footage from the gig they had just witnessed.
About 1000 Loau wristbands are ready for a July 12 launch, and GoSet Music marketing manager Doug Nixon expects bracelets to account for about one in every 10 album sales.
Fans can use the USB wristband as a normal storage device if they erase the album.
But University of Melbourne marketing professor Bryan Lukas said the bracelet would be a minor player in the Australian music-selling scene.
"People don't want to run around with things on their wrist some do, many don't," he said.
"I don't think it's going to be a blockbuster."
