Those jokers over at SolidAlliance are at it again, this time with the iDucks that "just glow." That's right, they don't have any sort of memory capabilities -- they "just glow."

Hell, they're under $9, so I guess if you have free USB ports, go for it.



SolidAlliance released o­n the 29th the "i-Duck Wasurenbo," a glowing thingy that connects to a PC's USB port. The price is 980 yen including tax.

i-Duck Wasurenbo is a USB device that "just glows," as it takes after the shape of the duck-shaped "i-Duck" USB memory, but leaves out the memory.

According to SolidAlliance, the ducks "switch o­n and off red as though ashamed," apparently because they "forgot to" include a USB memory function. The name of the product itself also seems to come from this gag.

Five colors are available: Yellow, Pink, Blue, Juicy, Peace, and Strawberry.
