PQI Launches Macarcon-Shaped USB Flash Drives
Spring is in the air! PQI is launching a new, specially designed “Springtime Afternoon Tea” range of PQI Macaron USB flash drives to match the season. These new flash drives feature a full, rounded shape, and are available in a range of four pastel colors: yellow, blue, purple and pink. Resembling a sweet macaron confectionery, they look good enough to eat, and evoke a sense of enjoying afternoon tea in early spring. PQI’s patented COB (Chip On Board) technology ensures that these devices are kept small and lightweight; they are also water-resistant, dust-resistant, shock-resistant and impact-resistant.

PQI’s Macaron USB flash drives are ideal for storing your precious photos, files, music and videos. When you are not using the drive, you can insert it into the Macaron-shaped cover, and then attach it to your mobile phone or audio player headphone jack using the lanyard accessory provided; besides making an attractive mobile phone “lanyard ornament,” it also functions as a dust-cover for your mobile phone earphone jack. The drives can be attached to the 3.5mm earphone jack of a smartphone, iPhone, iPad, iPod, MP3 player etc., helping to keep water and dirt out of the jack. This multifunction device overturns preconceptions about cold, boring electronics devices. Who could resist it?
