Kingston Technology is looking to put its own little spin on USB drives by offering up a new series sporting a retractable USB connector. The Kingston DataTraveler 100 line ranges in size from 1GB to 8GB and is priced from $19 to $116.

The Kingston DataTraveler 100 USB drives have a “thumb-action” slide set on the side of the drive that is used for retracting and protracting the USB connector in a single handed operation. This retractable design reduces the drive’s overall size, making it easier for transport.

The drives are USB 2.0 compatible and work with a variety of operating systems, including Windows Vista and Linux. The retractable design touch is the nicest feature though, giving you less worry about accidentally snapping off the USB connector.
