What is it? We’ve probably all had a time when we needed to give a large file to someone, and the easiest way to do that was ‘sneakernet’ – carrying it to them on a USB drive. But what if you forget the drive? What if it falls out of your pocket? Isn’t there a better way to carry the drive? Well, we’re not sure about ‘better’, but this is definitely an alternativ­e: this 4GB drive is a ring. As in, for your finger. Walk around with it attached to your hand and it’ll be easy to know it’s still with you, safe and sound. When’s it due? Put a ring on it right now. Why are we excited? We can think of few things that do such a good job of solving a problem while also being so untenable as an actual solution. With this on your finger, we’ve no doubt that you really would always know your files are safe, but… it’s huge. It’s so chunky that you’d start to have the problem of never, ever being able to forget it’s there. It’s so distractin­g. Still, at least it comes in a range of funky colours, and though it’s poor value for a 4GB drive, it’s not the worst we’ve ever seen, seeing as it does something else, er, ‘clever’.
