Hot Product: Oooms USB Memory Sticks

by Stephanie Wong • Jun 26, 2006 1:27 AM PDT

Most computer accessories are made of generic grey plastic, with little or no unique character. The Oooms USB 2.0 memory stick is a quirky and organic alternative, it€™s a one of a kind €œstick€�, literally. Each wooden stick is selected for it€™s natural beauty and professionally handmade and embedded with a memory stick.

The memory stick, designed in cooperation with Karin van Lieshout is available in three sizes: 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB. It measures approximately 2 x 2 x 10 cm and is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac. This product is one of the most popular in the Hive, with eight people posting it since June 23rd. Is this an emerging trend, which challenges ubiquitious bland computer accessories with unique one-of-a-kind functional objects? We hope so!
