LaCie/Christofle's silver-plated USB key

Given the speed technological advance moves at, I'll never understand why people invest in luxury versions of things that will quickly be osbolete, like gold-plated iPhones and such. But that never seems to stop companies from releasing such products.

The latest case in point is the Galet USB key, the result of a collaboration between Parisian luxury brand Christofle and LaCie. Yes it's pretty, yes it's silver-plated, but will 4GB cut it in several years' time?

I especially like how it covers up all your other USB ports when you use it. ;)

I hope that they manufactured this well. My LaCie USB Key fell apart in about a month.

It is way to broad to fit beside another port considering today's standard of width of USB plugs.

Bad UX = bad design.
