Pop Thirteen: Product Review: Ghost and Other Devimobotz

If you don't know them yet, there is not better time to introduce yourself to the world of Mimobots, hands down the best USB keys of the entire world, no actually of the entire universe, since these little toys with an electronic chip as heart are said to be coming from planet blooh.

Imagine a vinyll toy: you know, the usual 2 inch height, round shapes and a group of hyped artists to decorate its different editions. But this toy is not destined to become a sad dust collector as time goes by, abandoned on your shelf and pushed back by new gadgets. Mimobots are not gadgets at all: coming with a memory ranging from 256 MB to 2 GB, a USB 2.0 port and compatible with PCs and Macs alike, they are just your new electronic best friends, destined to sit beside your laptop and keep you company while you work. Then they eat your data and regurgitate them when you need them. And they always stay with you.
