Iomega kicks out eGo Camo Drive: completely invisible to animals, data thieves

Not sure if we missed the memo, but apparently May 7th is the unofficial day of camouflaged technology. Shortly after Mobiado revealed a rugged Camo handset for the well-to-do hunters of the world, along comes Iomega with a jungle-ready portable HDD. The $149.95 eGo Camo Drive is entirely USB powered and packs a respectable 250GB of internal storage space, a black Iomega Power Grip band, a woodland camouflage pattern and DropGuard technology to prevent disastrous consequences should you drop your drive from less than 60 inches. We always knew those gamesmen never sat in a tree stand all day without a little entertainment to keep 'em sane.

Beat me and probably 100 others to it.

Silly Engadget. They forgot to include the picture. I too can't see anything.

I never knew there were so many data thieves here on engadget... or even worse, animals.

I didn't know Iomega made paperclips. Is this article about a paper clip? That's all I see in that picture. Whatever. That hdd looks so silly is laughable.

anyone who says "eGo camo" in public has a 66% chance of fist-in-face syndrome

You can stop reporting Iomega news now, engadget. I think it's about the only company out there that doesn't have fanboys.

I LOVE splitting up HD pr0n into 100 MB increments and putting them on my Zip disks. I say good day to you, sir!

The paperclip is a reminder of the good ol' days when your zip disk would get stuck in the fricken thing and you'd stick the paper clip in the little hole to pop the disk out.

Looks like a hip flask for Rambo. Might be useful for booze once the drive fails.

Was there supposed to be something in that picture? I didn't see anything...

When the vietnam war was such a mess they also started to make products who's design was based on the army, I guess they are trying to recapture that concept? Else I just don't get where it's coming from.
