Bring out your inner mecha pilot with IO Data Device’s new “Gundam EasyDisk” series of USB memory drives. The 128MB drives are available in two variations; some support USB 2.0, some do not. I can already hear the anime forums debating over why IO Data chose Zeong instead of Guncannon to be USB 2.0. It will perhaps always be a mystery.
It gets even more worse terrible fantastic inside, with battle action screensavers and everything.
To appeal to the “maniacs” (Japanese for “someone who knows too much,”) IO Data has included two features for collectors of the drives – and I’m not making this up – by installing the included “Cute” software, your desktop wallpaper will automatically change to a corresponding Gundam wallpaper. When you take it out, it will go back to normal. The second feature is the screensaver, which when you purchase and use more than one of these drives, will add the respective characters to the ensuing action. You too can engage in intergalactic space combat for about $55 USD for a USB 2.0 mecha, or $45 for a USB 1.1 mecha.
