Calvin Klein Making Optical Storage Solution

Sunglasses that conceal a 4 GB USB stick is not quite what we mean by 'optical storage,' but ok.

Want to look cool and hip with the latest pair of Calvin Klein sunglasses? Then you might want to have a look at these, which pack more than just UV protection for your eyes.

Built into the sunglasses is a removable part that breaks off as a 4 GB USB stick. For those who find packing a USB stick in their pocket or as part of their key chain too much to handle, this could be the perfect solution.

Then again, it'll be a little sad when 4 GB will be considered woefully small and your sunglasses are technologically obsolete.

Expect them this October for around $200.

So would a troubleshooting call include "Do you wash behind your ears?"

I don't want to be the person who has to explain why losing their glasses means they lost the file...

For $200 these looks like any generic pair of sunglasses you'd pick up for $5 at CVS or Rite Aid.

They'd have to expand the line to include over-your-glasses sunglasses to tap into the market that includes me.

The end with the storage should be universal and fit next year's fronts, unless their target market is hugely well off...

Hey now that I think of it, this is more like HD Vision Glasses than the ad on tv!

*** Pathetic alert

Isn't 4gb already small? (I can sense the thumbs down will start sliding in on me now)

these actually look like the Rapist Glasses from the youtube Pedophile Beard parody... these have a tint to them to give them that extra appeal!

For $200 I want a heads-up display in the glasses so that I can red the files on the flash.

Have we totally skipped over the Get Smart approach to modern technology. Forget USB, give me Shoe-SB!!
