MOH: Memory On Hand Digital Storage Giveaway and Review~ 3/9

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

Momma Told Me: I swear, I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached to my neck!

My mother, while she wore many hats, was not the most organized when I was a child. She'd kill me for admitting, but it really wasn't a lack of any system or organization, it was more of a short term memory loss. With all of the tasks she was forced to juggle with schedules, meal plans, appointments, and what not, it was hard to remember where she last placed her coffee, let alone the grocery list. I can clearly recall time spent watching her flutter back and forth in a panic looking for keys attached to her belt, or glasses on her head. Yes, it was comical as a child to note my parent was, in fact, not without flaw- but now with a growing family of my own I realize the challenge. Even those with steel cage memories can sometimes get frazzled up against a deadline or during the holidays.

In 2009, undergraduate Andrew Kitzenberg set out to simply improve the functionality and attractiveness of a common, everyday tech device. While the concept of portable digital memory would have been featured in a Sci-Fi film, back when my mother was a kid, USB memory sticks are practically sold in vending machines today. Of course, the convenience of having a small, portable method of memory transfer does come with it's own hang ups. Most memory sticks are build of a case which consists of little more than a plastic box. I cannot recall all the times in college I misplaced mine in the lab, a coffee shop, or even at home. And since most memory sticks house important data, I was not too keen on discovering I'd misplaced my mid-term finals just days before the due date.

Andrews approach was simple; to enhance the portability of the common memory stick with a fashionable format that was difficult to misplace. Looking at the result, the Memory On Hand bracelet, it's easy to see where he drew his inspiration. Remember all of those rubber yellow Livestrong bands from the turn of the century? MOH has turned the fad into functionality with a lightweight, and extremely durable rubber based band housing a 2-4 GB memory stick. It's actually rather ingenious the way the USB stick turns into a functioning clasp when inserted into the cavity on the opposite end. Not only is the band kept 'on hand' when not in use, but there's no fear of losing the band when attached to an electronic device thanks the the bracelet attached.

Memory On Hand bands retail for just $19.95-$24.95, depending on storage capacity, and come in a variety of eye catching solid or tie-dyed colors. You can be boring and unsuspecting with a simple white MOH band, or make a statement with designs such as Cotton Candy and Lemon Lime Clementine. These versatile devices make great, affordable, gifts for the techie in your life, as well as a valuable tool for any household with digital photos, MP3s, and files. Most high schools even require their incoming classes to carry a memory stick these days, and USB based data storage is essential for any college student!

I was sent a Rain Forrest designed Memory On Hand bracelet for review here on Momma Told Me. Right out of the box, or in it I should say, I was impressed with the professional and modern packaging. An easy ship window box safely stored the band, ready to wrap or gift as is. The bracelet inside bore the same company logo on the USB stick, with a pretty base of bright yellow and tie dye swirls of purple. The band fit snug, but with some room, on my wrist, and securely snapped shut for wear. It was a little tricky for my to fasten this on my own wrist at first, but gre much easier with practice. I'm also glad to report that I've worn the MOH band all day without incident of loss or falling off! These seem like such a simple 'Why didn't I think of that?' product, but the simple fact is, MOH has brilliantly executed an everyday quandary solution, and with fashion to boot!

What Daughter Says: Don't loose valuable files and data, invest in the stylish and affordable Memory On Hand Band!
