Another USB glamorous gadget

Yep, yet another one I found.

Priceless this thing is:

Philips teamed with glass designer Swarovski to create stylish USB thumb drives.

Swarovski crystal, ladies!!

Where did I see this?  Ok, here: “Gadget designers tap into female market” by the News-Leader.com.

They are addressing an interesting issue:

Women, you influence 40 percent of consumer electronics purchases, and nearly 100 percent of you say that style is important in your buying decisions.

Yep, women have become a major force in the purchase-decision-making process.  I would say it’s even higher than 40%.  Most of us guys buy things to [even if we don't admit it] impress ladies in one way or another.  One might even say that women influence 100% of purchases.  Well, 95%, since the other 5% of men are of non-traditional orientation.  But they are trying to BE women in a way so I suppose it’s back to 100%  :)

No matter, really.  I do like things that look good so I applaud today’s designers who seem to have recognized the fact that the way a gadget LOOKS might be even more important than the way it works.  Just look at Apple if you don’t believe me  :)
