Cute USB Flash Drives Bring Cool to Back-to-School

Along with notebooks, pens and paper many Prince William County Schools supply lists for middle and high school classes include a 21st-century essential -- a USB flash drive.

This isn't just for the computer classes anymore; English, photography and any classes that have writing requirements are making this a standard requirement to store projects to be worked on at school and at home.

A few years ago these were expensive office items and their capacity was limited.  Now you can get these fashionable four gigabyte flash drives from Office Depot for under $10. Best Buy offers a selection that includes a cute magenta 2 GB drive for under $7.

For high style (and who is more stylish than Hello Kitty?) Mimobot offers a variety of character USB drives include the popular cat diva, characters from the Halo game series and even everyone's favorite droid, R2D2, from the Star Wars saga. 

So whether you need portable storage for homework or for your very grown-up office files, add some style to your day by choosing a design that gives you a smile.
