The list of cornball USB gadgets has become embarrassingly long lately, thus some basic handy ideas have fallen by the wayside. Making up for all the goofy gadgets is the SpyDisk Pen, a decidedly James Bond-esque piece of equipment.

By day the SpyDisk is a fully functional ballpoint pen, but in the cover of darkness the object transforms into a USB device with 512 megabytes of memory and an SD/MMC card reader. The SpyDisk is only compatible with Windows and available for just 4,800 yen ($41) here. — Adario Strange
