A Touch of Class and a Touch of Flash from Tokyoflash USB Watch
It seems that Tokyoflash has grown up a little. From the hip chic and a little bit geek, they mature with a old fashioned Kisai Round Trip Pocket Watch. Okay, it's neither old fashioned or mature but it is a pocket-watch. The silver pocket-watch doesn't come with the classic chain and clip but instead has more of a keyring style going on. Like most Tokyoflash watches, the watch is fairly nondescript until you push its action button. The face animates with glowing lights instead of an LCD display. Think Philip Glass does stained glass windows. Count up the number of lights lit on each ring of the face to tell the time.
Made to be shown off in the night time, the watch can easily be be set to light up every few minutes during the evenings for all to see. Perfect for clubbing and getting attention while you are enjoying the nightlife. All the blinkenlights would take a terrible toll on a normal watch battery so Tokyoflash ramped up the Kisai with a USB rechargeable battery, but no USB storage yet. The watch also comes with a special adapter that's required to take USB power and store it internally. A full charge takes 3.5 hours and should last for an entire month. It's also waterproof and can be ordered right now for $73.66. Shipping from overseas may run you another $20 but still not bad for a serious piece of geek style.

Intel and Micron to Ship Juicier 25nm Ram Chips
Memory takes another step on its fantastic voyage to absolute smallness. Intel and Micron make room for a few more angels on the head of a pin with their prêt-a-porter 25nm NAND RAM. Almost twice as dense as the previous generation of RAM, expect this latest development to lead to larger storage capacities on phones, SSDs and flash drives. MicroSDHC might get a bump past the 32GB ceiling that currently exists which would might get devices like the Cinema Stick to hold more than just one Blu-Ray rip.
Mass production starts this week but that's just for the chips. Manufacturers will need a bit more time to get them implemented into their products. Let's hope the iPhone 4G ships with 128GB at launch. While the higher density is great, some previous technological advances were stymied by increased heat in the same space. Even if more memory took up less space, the heat produced severely decreased the life of the chips. We're pretty sure the think tank behind Intel and Micron has probably worked around this problem already. Get a better faster flash drive in our hands and we may forgive your faltering on the USB 3.0 front.
