Mimoco Announces the Star Trek™ X MIMOBOT® Flash Drive Collection Beth Snyder November 22, 2012 Press Release Mimoco once again has debuted a line of flash drives after my own heart. It seems like every time I turn around, they’re showing off another set of drives that pretty much insist on being mine, and their new Star Trek themed flash drives rank pretty high on my list. This new line features Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock from the original Star Trek series, as well as Captain Picard and Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I assume later they’ll be adding characters from the other incarnations of the series, but for now you’ll have to content yourself with these four. They are officially licensed products (of course), and are available online or at “select specialty outposts on planet Earth.” Anyway, to the flash drives. Because these are Mimobots, they aren’t just neat to look at, you get bonus stuff on them. Each one comes pre-loaded with Star Trek Mimory™ content including never-before-seen material from the Star Trek: The Next Generation™ Blu-ray release, vintage toy commercials, and vintage comic books. Each one also contains the exclusive MimoDesk suite, including themed wallpapers, avatars and icons. And of course you also get MimoByte software, to give you sounds and character dialogue which plays each time you insert of eject one of the drives from your computer. These drives are available from 8GB through 64GB, at a cost ranging from $19.99 US to $69.99 US. For an extra $5.95 US, you can add either a black or white hoodie, to protect your drive and also to enable you to clip it to your keys or bag so you are less likely to lose it. Although I would imagine if you lost one, the others would go to warp speed to save it. Check out the introductory video from Mimoco, as well as the full press release, below.
