wii storage
Nintendo's Laurent Fischer recently got in trouble when he said only "geeks" and "otaku" want more space on their Wii to store stuff. Now he has to not only apologize, but say that Nintendo knows "there is an issue in this," and that they're working on something. Maybe. Laurent follows up that with a quote saying they have "no plan to issue hardware," which kinda makes knowing that there's an issue a useless point. [Games Industry via Kotaku - Image Credit]

Zip Zip LEGO USB Drives Get Updated to 4GB
The previously 1GB Zip Zip LEGO USB drives are getting an update to 4GB. Unfortunately, Zip Zip still doesn't make these things out of real LEGO blocks—there's probably some legal reason preventing them from reselling it or something—but they're a good approximation. Things you shouldn't do with this: toss it into a huge bucket of regular LEGO. [Zipzip]

Zyrus Bandi a USB Drive for the Krazy Korean Market

With a read speed of 18MB and a write speed of 4.5MB, the Bandi has a light-up trim in blue and a cord for you to sling it round your neck. There's also password protection and DOS booting. The Zyrus Bandi is only available out there at the moment, folks.[AVING USA via New Launches]

USB Drive For Winos With Cash
This USB drive is more than its wine-shaped exterior would suggest. It's a tool for the hardcore wine enthusiast. Features include; 1GB of memory, wine related ringtones (eh?), desktop wallpaper, a screensaver, a wine tasting demo by Michel Rolland (who?), and privileged access to the BeWineConnected Club. The most interesting feature however, is the inclusion of the wine cellar management software "Open Cellar" that allows wine lovers to manage their collection from any computer. If you think that all of this may be a little excessive, I agree. Then again, I don't have the cash to buy and stock a cellar, and Miller Light gets me drunk just fine. Available for around $50 [BeWine via Apartment Therapy]

Mimoco's got these Limited Edition Master Chief USB Drives in 1, 2 and 4GB sizes. They're preloaded with artwork from the upcoming Halo novel and an episode of "This Spartan Life", they're pricey at $109 for the larger model, but given the Halo feeding frenzy, they would still sell out of the limited run if they charged 50% more.

See this remote-controlled Mini in Racing Green from Solid Alliance? You're probably not that impressed with it, are you? (I admit, the headlights are just shonky.) Well, you should see what it comes with: a garage that acts as a charger and connects to your computer's USB port. Find out how to control the car and watch the video after the jump.

Mustek PF-A1020BC Frame Comes With Changeable Faceplates
If all digital photo frames are starting to look alike, try this Mustek PF-A1020BC with its big 10-inch LCD and swappable frames, coming with silver, "frosted white," or Mahogany faceplates. Pictures should look pretty nice as the 9.5-inch viewable area displays at a 720 x 480 resolution, and you can store around 45 JPEGs thanks to the frame's internal memory. But are the pretty colors going to be able to justify the frame's $200 price tag? More »

USB Drive Looks Like a Bullet Train, Holds a Measly 128MB
This N700 USB drive looks like that bullet train in Japan, lovingly referred to as Shinkansen. No, it doesn't have a whistle that blows, or travel down a track, or release a sweet odor, feed your cat do anything else but store just 128MB of data and charge you $38 for the privilege.Take off its back and you'll see that USB plug, giving you an indication of its small size. But damn, they could've fit at least four gigs in there. Even so, we tip our hats to our Gizmodo Japan brethren for finding such a thing, however deficient, but still a fetching artifact. More »

Paws On the Artist Series '07 mimobots at NY Comic Con
The NY Comic Con was disappointingly less gadget-y (or worthwhile) than I had hoped, which is to say that it was gadget-less until I spotted the Mimoco banner way against the back wall. And what can I say, I'm a whore for art toys—Kid Robot has gotten far too much money from me over the last couple of years. More »

SoundDrive: The Talking USB Drive
I have a huge collection of thumb drives from every press event I've ever been to, but none of them is as talented as this one. The SoundDrive is the first thumb drive I've seen with speakers built into it, so the moment you plug it in, it starts yapping away. I can see this being helpful for the visually impaired maybe, but considering all of my thumb drives are from press events, the last thing I want is a talking press release. More »

USB Phonebook Backs Up Your Digital Black Book
If, like me, you're constantly losing/changing phones, Brando's USB Phonebook should come in handy. It plugs into your cell phone and downloads your phonebook info so the next time you get a new phone, you can upload your address book with the click of a button. The Phonebook also plugs into your PC letting you save a copy of your contacts on your desktop. It goes for $20, which ain't bad considering Verizon charges you $10 for this very same service. More »
