Accordion-style USB drive actually solves a problem {Engadget}
Apr 8th 2008 3:20PM Well the corsair flash voyager rubber encased pcb takes care of the BBQ sauce on the circuit board, but not in the usb connector you might just have to lick it off
MMM.. flash drive lickin' good.
But seriously I don't see any reason to even have to conceal the usb port by any means retracting, caps, flips, rotates... etc. i mean even if the connector gets dirty enough not to make contact any more and you absolutely have to get the data off then pop open the case solder 4 wires to a cut usb cable get the data off and buy a new drive.

Nokia changes its tune on touchscreens. Entirely. {Engadget}
Jun 18th 2007 3:07PM Touchscreens are very restrictive, Capacitive touch sensors are as well. My wife is legally blind and can't use the vast majority of new technology because it is too small, you can't feel the buttons, and you cannot tell what the interface is doing.
If you are blind and you can't tell where the capacitive touch button is how can you press it.
If you are blind and you have an ever changing touch screen how the heck can you use it.
I understand there are solutions like the Humanware Trekker (http://www.humanware.ca/web/en/p_DA_Trekker.asp) but the darn thing is $2,000 and something like that for someone who can see is under $500. If apple, nokia, and others would think about usability for the blind it would be great. They probably won't though.
