USB flash drives are meant to do a very simple job. Try telling that to manufacturers who apparently regard them as a canvas that should, from time to time, tolerate their whimsical artistic and technological cravings. Our beautiful planet has been blessed with USB flash drives of various ilks, be it the radical or the rank outrageous.

Ennova Direct has announced a new thumb drive that has enough room for a miniscule OLED screen/biometric scanner. The OLED screen can be used for file browsing and other ordinary functions. And for those of you who require thumb drives to house valuable state secrets, the OLED screen can function as a biometric scanner. The company expects to launch the drive in Q1, 2010.

Could someone please explain to me why I should provide people with a reason to cut off my fingers? I'm not joking on this one. I don't do biometric stuff for that very reason.

Print scaners are still easy to defeat, and anyways cutting off fingers gets messy which makes those devices not read them well.

 The biometric scanner sounds like a good idea. We have them on PC's to lock and protect them, why not on a thumb drive. Will make moving data around offline more secure.

The best way to prevent data left, is to keep it offline, this make it even more secure!!

 Now, if we had a portable biometric scanner that can be used to open doors, unlock PC's, etc and it looks like a thumb drive, and if it works with almost any device that would be best!

Fantastic device, I'm surprised we haven't seen it on car key fobs yet?
