Cowon's UM1 Classy Flash Drive Doubles as Necklace

Cowon engineers probably were trying to make a uber-slim DAP, but instead went back to making a classy thumbdrive. Bearing a prominent inscription that reads "Don't Forget Me", the Cowon UM1 water & dust proof USB drive is about the same length as a clipper and a mere 3mm in thickness. For every capacity (2GB to 16GB), there are two color choices: Chrome Black and Glossy Gold. The little loophole on the thumbdrive also makes UM1 a decent choice for a necklace although that may affect usability to some extent.

Why the Korean company traditionally makes DAP now enters flash drive business is beyond us. While the UM1 may not be as interesting as the iAudio E2, it makes for a great flash drive gift. It's, however, doubtful we will see in the stateside.
