Samsung Costume hard drive concept appeals to the ladies

Not that Samsung is actually looking to pump this out into beauty salons worldwide, but there stands at least a mild chance that sophisticated females shopping for new compacts would also spring for some storage. Joongoo Lee's Costume is a sleek, deliberately styled 2.5-inch external hard drive that looks entirely at home mixed in with various makeup components. Additionally, the bundled dock is equally sexy, though we can only hope there's a USB 2.0 port somewhere on this thing. Though this is just a concept, we wouldn't put it past Samsung to turn into a reality -- after all, it did just produce pink and blue BlackJack IIs. Your soft side is showing, Sammy.

That makeup looks horribly misplaced on that picture.
Also, WD Passport looks sexy enough.

[Herbal Ed @ Jul 27th 2008 6:09AM]

As if style and good looks are for women only. Apple has been putting out stylish products for a long time. Haven't you noticed?

[liv @ Jul 27th 2008 6:37AM]

Jesus Christ... does every post on this site have to be about Apple ? We are fucking talking about a SAMSUNG PRODUCT... Why do you have to bring Apple in this discussion...

[w00t @ Jul 27th 2008 7:36AM]

Yeah, for gods sake why do people have to mention relevant tech companies?!

People really need to get over this 'My tech company could beat up your tech company' nonsense :)

[Steffen Jobbs @ Jul 27th 2008 8:04AM]

"Jesus Christ... does every post on this site have to be about Apple ?"

Thou shalt not take the name of thy lord in vain. Or Apple's name. And besides, no one here is named Jesus Christ.

That's right, Apple has been selling stylish devices for years, while certain companies only made dull grey boxes. Zing.....

And one more thing....make sure you dress light for where you're going and watch out for red-hot pitchforks.

you should get your own show that's how funny you are Mr. Jobs...

[Haikibutsu @ Jul 27th 2008 10:27PM]

I thought older macs were damn ugly.

Sure, the current ones are sexy, but hav e you seen that Voodoo? its sexier than my Macbook!

Also, shut up steffen jobs. All you are is a clak but more boring.

[Jakob Henner @ Jul 27th 2008 6:36AM]

Crap it appeals to me too.

[Dillon @ Jul 27th 2008 7:12AM]

Why would crap appeal to you?

[liv @ Jul 27th 2008 7:27AM]

2 girls-1 cup ?

[liv @ Jul 27th 2008 6:38AM]

It does look good...

[Herbal Ed @ Jul 27th 2008 8:04AM]

If you weren't so rude and angry maybe you'd of actually understood my point ... which was that style and good looks are not just a woman thing. I'm ever amazed how rude some people are when they're anonymous. Maybe because this kind of behavior face-to-face can get you bitch slapped or an ass kicking. Have a nice day.

[liv @ Jul 27th 2008 8:43AM]

My bad... tell me where you live so I can come and kick your ass... low ranking you just isn't as rewarding... "net-cojones"?! pff... bring it on, Apple fanboy!

now listen here, boy, the idea was that every time a piece of tech pops up on this site, everybody immediately compares it with an Apple product. If you wanted to prove a point it wasn't necessary to point out another company that produces coll, shiny-looking stuff... your first sentence would have been enough... and the fact that you were low-ranked proves my point exactly...

[Dillon @ Jul 27th 2008 10:06AM]

What in the hell are you two arguing about?

[neofolklore @ Jul 28th 2008 8:14AM]

inter-threadal argument?

[TubeTop100.com @ Jul 27th 2008 7:15AM]

Bitches love hard drives.

[liv @ Jul 27th 2008 7:35AM]

I bet you're a hit with the ladies...

[z3r0D @ Jul 27th 2008 1:06PM]

I have a feeling that they never seem to byte for him.

[andres @ Jul 27th 2008 5:31PM]

bitches dont know bout my disk based media

[neofolklore @ Jul 28th 2008 8:16AM]

kuz of your floppy disk, 2.5" and can never get it up

[fgpx78 @ Jul 27th 2008 7:20AM]

what's that?

[Dillon @ Jul 27th 2008 10:08AM]

Read the article and you may just find out!

[DJ @ Jul 27th 2008 7:49AM]

Ah, Samsung is already a reality. I think you mean Samsung may turn the >product< into a reality?

[Prokanda @ Jul 27th 2008 4:21PM]

I was checking to see if someone already got it... DAMN YOU!

*raises fist*

[Adderz @ Jul 28th 2008 1:37AM]

Yes i had to read the article 3 times before i finally noticed "it" wasnt in it. Dont you hate that when your mind automatically corrects for you lol.

Getting back on topic. I'm not sure why this is simply being targeted at women, they seem to be limiting their target demographic to tech savvy women instead of design loving people. Im sure there's alot more of the latter than the former.

To the people above, Apple is quite relevant, they produce good looking tech, therefore they are relevant, you dont see Dells or Acers name come up too often when your talking about good looking stuff, and thats because there is a reason for it. Its nice to FINALLY see that other companies are realizing design is important. Thanks Samsung.

[connerisdabomb @ Jul 27th 2008 10:08AM]

looks cheapo

[AlphaTeam @ Jul 27th 2008 10:25AM]

Make the top into a mirror and you'll have a killer!

[Joe @ Jul 27th 2008 10:27AM]

Oh no! It appeals to me too!

[Darkroom @ Jul 27th 2008 10:40AM]

looks nice, but if it's coating of this harddrive is anything like their SCX-4500 multifunction printers, than it will show off dust very easily. dust on glossy black kills the aesthetic if you don't bust out the duster ever hour.

[Pitofero @ Jul 27th 2008 12:58PM]

Sexism at its finest...so lame

[Josh L @ Jul 27th 2008 2:48PM]

I was wondering when the first moron would bust out the "OMG DISCRIMINATION" card.

I'm surprised it took this long.

[Nick @ Jul 27th 2008 12:56PM]

Exactly, piss off mentioning Apple, yes we know they create greatly designed product, BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT APPLE, ISIT?

No, exactly.

Just pisses me, and many others off when people always mention Apple, I don't have a thing against them, it's just they're mentioned ALL THE TIME, mainly in topics that doesn't consider them to mention it, such as a Vista thread, always gets raided by fan boys.

Once again, piss off.

[barry99705 @ Jul 27th 2008 1:15PM]

So what? You're probably one of the one's that complain about all the Apple tech posts on this site as well. As for the moron that started this whole argument, Apple doesn't even make external hard drives, so you're post was pretty pointless, yea, Apple makes good looking stuff, but they don't make good looking external hard drives. No the iPod isn't an external hard drive, it's an MP3 player.

[avester @ Jul 27th 2008 2:30PM]

How about you barry go to an Time Capsule, if you catch my drift.

[liv @ Jul 27th 2008 3:11PM]

I CAN"T BELIEVE THIS SHIT!! YOU MENTIONED APPLE AGAIN...

OK engadget make a poll which one is better... the Samsung Women-Only Hard Drive or the Time Capsule...

[Nick @ Jul 27th 2008 2:50PM]

Exactly that Apple External Drive, I've only posted 3 times regarding how people like to bad mouth Vista, it was funny the first time, but not no more, and we know Apple makes greatly designed products, as said, but no need for people to raid these, if not all theads, and post Apple comments.

[Lilly Dilly @ Jul 27th 2008 3:17PM]

Another Apple topic... lol

[yui @ Jul 28th 2008 6:49AM]

what on the earth Samsung's logo on its product always oversized?
I suppose, ppl buy Samsung product because of its product and not because of a more then usual visible logo?!

[gwen @ Jul 30th 2008 12:46AM]

I've just finished a marathon of the first five seasons of "24" nonstop, so my first thought on seeing the picture was, "what a great way to disguise a drive, hide it in a makeup kit!"
