Here’s a new take on wearable technology – Imation is out with their new Imation Flash Wristband which is a portable flash drive that also doubles as a flexible wristband. When you need to bring data files with you, just plug the wristband into any available USB port and move files onto the onboard 256MB of flash memory. Once you’re done transferring files, hook the wristband onto anything from your wrist to your luggage and instantly come up with a safe and convenient way of transporting data. The wristband uses a rubberized exterior to protect the drive from any damage along the way. You can expect to find the drive in retail outlets in mid – January.
