One of the latest products launched to help Japanese earthquake victims is the Incubot USB Flash Drive.
A couple months ago, a devastating earthquake hit Japan leaving many injured and dead. As a result of this unfortunate event, many artist and designers have put their creative minds together to release new products with sale proceeds going to charity. The Incubot USB Flash Drive is one of the newest items that you can purchase to help those in need. The memory stick comes in the form of Shiroi Voltron and Shiroi Nekobot robots. Look on the chest and you'll see a red circle that symbolizes the sun that's on the Japanese flag. All of the profits will go directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society and to the Safecast radiation monitoring efforts.
