USB Dog Tags Shipping Now, Still Overpriced
Posted by Jason Chen at 10:00 AM on December 28, 2007
Remember those Olinari Silver USB Dog Tags we showed you back in August? The ones that looked extremely nice but costed about $200 too much? They're shipping now for the price of $US349 (with 2GB USB) and $US319 without. We really want one of these, but for $US349 we'll stick with going bare chested. [Olinari]

Besides, dogtags have the characteristic of being absolutely flat, this, while not ugly, looks like a mini flask.

They're sterling silver. That explains the price, though I can't say it makes them any more appealing to me.

Ouch. I could see if that was platinum or something. But it looks like pewter.

Are these geared toward militant Quebecois hackers?

Definitely not worth it. Would be nice if it was super thin and such. I wouldn't want to have a Zippo around my neck.

@OtterKing: That's why I always keep my valuable data on my laptop instead. Oh, wait....

If these were under $100, I'd buy two (one for a fluer-de-lis obsessed friend). We're both writers, and we're both a little apprehensive about keeping our works-in-progress on such thief magnets as our MacBooks, so we keep our projects on USB thumbdrives (like many writers, I consider my intellectual property to be worth more than the actual laptop), but I worry about losing the tiny drives (even though I back up all my work when I'm at home, of course). Keeping them around my neck in a way that won't make me look like a total nerd (even if it's a bit too much bling for my taste)? Win!
But for $349? I said I was a *writer.* :-P

They have these at Target for like 30 bucks. Not pretty like these are but hold more and wouldnt make you feel like a tool for spending 200 bucks.
