Some of our readers probably aren’t old enough to remeber the tape cassette, it seems like a distant memory now, although I do have a few old cassettes lying around.

Well now you can have your very own USB flash drive in the shape of a cassette tape with the Mixa Tape USB flash drive.

Flash drives abound nowadays, but in a grey digital age it’s important to be able to tart up our tech and have a little fun. This 1 Gig flash drive may seem to be an anachronism, but its neat flip-out USB port and oodles of space make it the perfect little portable filing cabinet. Fill it with hundreds of your favourite tracks, piles and piles of your top photos, or slightly more dull but no less useful, all your important documents (Government Departments please don’t fill this with all our personal records and leave it on a train). The cassette comes with a sheet of graffiti style stickers so you can pimp up your tape, and of course it comes in a traditional style cassette tape box. It’s the ultimate in nostalgic data storage and transfer that even a computer luddite can get their head round.

The USB Mixa Tape comes with 1GB of storage and id available to buy online for $19.99 about $37 from IWOOT.
