The Phillu is a new kind of device for data storage that takes its image and function from a simple box of matches. It can hold up to 45 GB of data divided into 9 removable match-shaped sticks. Apart from the cool design, it has great capabilities. If you “light” one of the matches” by hitting the sticker with the head of a stick, the data contained is automatically transferred to another Phillu without having to use a computer!
