The Inquirer talks about a new Lexar USB stick that features eInk (also referred to as ePaper) to display drive usage. This comes straight out of the I can’t believe they didn’t think of that earlier category. Unlike a conventional LCD, eInk requires absolutely no electricity to retain and display its current value. So your USB stick will always show you how much storage space is used no matter how long it’s been since you last plugged it in. Lexar will offer it in 1 and 2 gigabyte variants.

Yeah- I can’t believe they didn’t think of this earlier! This is cool- especially if you had a couple and were wondering which one had enough space for that big file- and you don’t have the time to plug them all in, one at a time, and check the remaining space.

This stinks because people who ask ‘ya got anything on there?’ now know there’s something there. Couldn’t they put a legend under the ephemeral death-march bar, like an electromagnetic frequency chart? That way we can take it out where there are nice new LED lamps and say ‘hey look. There’s no teal here. You can just get monochromatic 520nm plants from now on.’
