I don’t know what made Tokyo-based tech company Greenhouse announce (or even produce) these gadgets in early April but they did anyway. For some reason, the company will start selling USB memory cards shaped like beach sandals and surf boards later this month.

The so-called PicoDrive Beach and PicoDrive Surf have 4GB memory each. Both the sandals and the boards are available in three different colors and cost $40 each (MSRP). If you live outside and are really interested in buying the memory cards, I suggest you contact Japan Trend Shop, Gizmine, Geek Stuff 4 U or Rinkya.
