Mimobots are the result of what happens when designer toy brand and a computer company engage in geek copulation to produce “designer USB flash drives.” So what makes it so awesome? Read what we think and then tell us what you think in this latest edition of Nerd Debate.
USB flash drives are the new floppy disks. They’re little, can fit in your pocket or on your keychain or pen, and can connect to just about any computer. That said, they’re so damn convenient that one now has even fewer excuses for not turning in papers on time. Mimobots are like the King Cheese of flash drives – they’re designed to look like little cartoon monsters and movie characters and whathaveyou, presumably so you have something to smile at while you up/download files. If not smile, I’m not quite sure what its purpose is. All I know is that I have one, I love it, and it makes me legitimately, inexplicably happy. The great thing is, it doesn’t cost more than other USBs, and at the low, low price of looking like a dorkthong simply for ignoring the 30 Best Buys you probably passed to get to the specialty store carrying the Mimobots Star Wars edition, you, too, can have a Mimobot of your very own.
So are they really that great, or am I just really wack? It’s okay, I can handle the truth. Check all the lines out on www.mimoco.com. They also have accessories. No, seriously.
