A Japanese company is showing off a new USB thumb drive that integrates a fully functioning camera. April Tokyo’s 3-in-1 USB memory & art camera delivers portable storage, still photography, and video camera functionality in a form not much bulkier than a mainstream storage-only device. If you are interested in this product, it is live on Japan’s largest crowdfunding portal, Makuake, for the next 24 hours (at the time of writing).
Before further analysis of ‘why?’ let us consider the specs of the 3-in-1 USB memory & art camera, and weigh its value. The device is a nice example of miniaturization and integration offering its 3-in-1-ness within 70mm x 40mm (including flash) x 20mm (including lens bump).
