Perhaps empowered by those charity wrist bands, Imation - the company more readily known for memory cards and storage has launched a USB drive that you can wear as a bracelet.

The Imation Flash Wristband supposedly “redefines” wearable technology design by combining a portable flash drive that doubles as a wristband.

Durable and “stylish”, the Imation Flash Wristband comes in a flexible blue or black rubber shell and offers 256MB memory for storage of all your data.
You can connect it to your PC simply by unpluging the wristband and then pluging it into the drive into the computer's USB port.

According to Imation, it looks like the wrist drive is only available at Target stores in America.

The wrist drive will work on both PC, Mac and Linux systems and requires no extra drivers.
