"We've always been fans of LaCie's Starck Mobile Drives, designed by the inimitable Phillip Starck, and now they're getting a little speed boost, courtesy of USB 3.0. The 500GB drive is still housed in the same \"liquid metal trapped in a box\" enclosure as the previous editions, and it comes bundled with 10GB of online storage at Wuala Online for $109 in the US and &amp;pound;89 in the UK. Looks like it's out of stock just at the moment, but we'd imagine it'll arrive soon.
