LG USB Key Alerts You When Lost

LG knows that sometimes we’re bound to be a klutz and will leave our USB key behind at school, work, or anywhere we happen to be with a computer. So now LG has released a trackable flash drive that will let you know what’s going on after you’ve lost it thanks to some software from Inspice. If the drive is plugged into an unauthorized computer (read: Windows PC—it hasn’t been tested on Macs yet), the drive will lock itself down and send you the computer’s information like IP address, host name, and other information to both you and Inspice to help track it and get it back. Price not yet available, but a worthy investment if you lose stuff a lot.

LG’s USB Flash Drives come with Homing Beacon [Ubergizmo]
