zink: drive me crazy
"Saving your data has never looked cuter. Mimobots, the new uberly-cool USB flash drive designed by urban artist Yahid Rodriguez, have journeyed a long way from home (the galaxy 4210 to be exact) to add some fun to the electronic revolution. The funky and functional creatures, from the Cosmo and upcoming Go series, are hi-speed 2.0 USB and available in very limited quantities - only between 250 and 1,000 are up for adoption. These feisty little critters work with both Windows and Mac and come in three drive sizes: 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB. Priced between $69.95 and $139.95, it's well worth it to stash all your info in style. Oh, and to get you revved up while saving and storing, each Mimobot from the Cosmo series comes preloaded with exclusive original music mixes by DJ DB. Scoop up your own (like the Vera, pictured here) at Mimoco.com."

nytimes spreading the love of mimobots!
mimobots are feeling the love today after The NY Times picked up their story in Sunday's biz section. Welcome our new mimobot friends.

"ADULT toys" is a loaded term, often associated with stores with flashing red signs and unusually corseted mannequins. But for a sizable contingent of over-18 consumers, the phrase doesn't have salacious connotations: this group's toys of choice are plastic figurines with names like Bearbricks and Devilrobots, designed by Asian artists inspired in equal parts by science fiction and comic books...
enjoy the article here or here.
Also, 2GB mimobots have arrived and pre-orders ship tomorrow.
