Japanese has always found ways to associate stuff in real-life with USB flash drive. The most notable examples are the USB Sushi and USB Dimsim. While the plastic food has no real correlation with functionality of the USB flash drive, it serves to jump-start sales, and it did the job well.

Now, SolidAlliance has come up with a GhostRadar USB flash memory that detects, well, ghosts. Basically, it responds to unusual magnetic waves with audible alerts and flashing red lights. This thing maybe useful for paranoid travelers who stay in all kinds of hotel rooms and need to check them out. Unfortunately, the GhostRadar doesn't record unusual activities in the USB flash memory.

The unit sells in Japan for ¥19,800 ($185 US or €140) for 512 megabytes of memory.
