    Gadget candy came across a few very nice pieces created out of a collaboration between Philips and Swarovksi. It only makes sense, since gadget fashionistas prefer their gadgets encrusted with Swarovski crystals anyway. I don't know how diligent you are about backing up files, but if you don't mind carrying important stuff around your neck, these Active Crystals are protected by a user password. The sparkly 1GB USB pendants are available in four shapes: HeartWare, Heart Beat, Lock In and Lock Out. They'll be in stores come August, although prices haven't been disclosed yet. If its Swarovski, you can bet it will cost you a pretty penny. Do you think this will become a success?

    as nice as it is, i'd rpobably get real jewlry as opposed to these gadgets from swarovski

    a lof of their jewlry doesn't cost that much, relatively speaking
    most of their stuff is < 200 for necklace+pendant or earrings etc

    I'll have more interest in buying it if it's a cell phone chain thing instead of a necklace pendant, not a necklace person myself...

    I can image, the USB bling bling on a girl :D
    This thing has a dual use: Fashion object and hidden nerd ambitions.
    But on a man ... unless he is a rapper or pimp LOL :D
