"SolidAlliance" sounds more like a light rock band from the '70s than a computer equipment maker--which would explain its taste in USB drive designs too.

Except for the occasional duckies and robots, the Japanese company appears given to all that glitters. The latest shiny material comes from the house of Swarovski, which apparently won't be satisfied until it covers the Earth in its ubiquitous crystals.

A new line of stone-studded USB keys can be made to order with your choice of designs in different storage sizes, according to Newlaunches. It could actually find a whole new market if it can create an "Aqua Teen" version.
