It seems that Entertainment Earth is coming out with a few different USB drives, one of which will appeal to the Twilight fans.  It’s a little on the bulky side of things, but features the Cullen family crest.  Then just in case you’re worried that people won’t realize how much of a Twilight fan  you are, it has Twilight stamped on the bottom.  Taking away any doubt anyone might have that you can’t get enough of anything and everything Twilight.

The drive stores 2GB of data and unfortunately isn’t out just yet.  It’ll become available in October of this year.  However, to help pass the time, perhaps you could purchase yourself some felt and create your very own felt Bella fetus.  That or you could come up with your very own disturbing Twilight craft project.  The flash drive can be pre-ordered now for $24.99.  Then once it’s released in the fall, it will be all ready and paid for.

If you thought that the keychain spy camera wasn’t quite stealthy enough, this car key might work a little bit better.  Just close up the key part and it would cover up all of the spots that let on that it’s actually a spy camera in disguise.  Closing up the key won’t obstruct the view of the camera itself though.  There’s just a small hole at the bottom of the plastic part, that no one would ever suspect is a camera.

This fake key comes from Brando just like the keychain.  It’s also extremely similar, the biggest difference is that they are two different shapes.  This fake key has 2GB of built-in memory and can shoot at 29 FPS.  The color video resolution is at 640 x 480 and then the image resolution is 1280 x 960 pixels.  It has video as well as audio and a rechargeable Li-ion battery.  You can purchase it for $66 from Brando, which happens to be the exact same price as the keychain.  So you can pick and choose which look you like the best and not have to worry about price differences.

For those that have grown tired of the Star Wars accessories they already own or that have been available for a while, now there are some new ones coming out.  You can pick up one of these new USB drives that make each character look a bit like a bobble head doll.  Which also gives Darth Vader a cuddly feel, as opposed to making him look dark and brooding. If you don’t mind your Star Wars characters a little more cutesy, then these would be great flash drives.

They are each 2GB drives, which is kind of small, but for once they aren’t too badly priced.  Besides Yoda and Darth Vader, there is also a Boba Fett and Stormtrooper within the same series of drives.  They aren’t available just yet though, they’ll be coming out in October of this year.  You can pre-order them now though.  You can pre-order it for $24.99 from Entertainment Earth.
