Ennova Direct's forthcoming USB flash drive has a sliding, retractable cover (fairly typical) and a built-in OLED screen that reads fingerprints (not so typical). Sliding the cover open exposes not only the USB plug, but also the OLED screen.
"With USB flash drive memory capacities now reaching 64GB and higher, users are now utilizing their USB flash drives as full external backup drives, making it even more important for users to secure the large amounts of personal data they are storing on their USB flash drives," according to Peter Garrett, Executive VP of Ennova Direct.
Ennova has recently been awarded a patent for the biometric feature, although the device is not quite ready; look for it in early 2010.
