Goldenmars are expanding from being an OEM manufacturer to targeting the retail market. To facilitate the changes, the company launched its signature brand "GeeDom" line of memory modules and flash based storage products. We are testing the Identity flash drive and SD card today which comes with a small LCD display that shows volume label and available capacity, even when disconnected from the PC.

The screen is what sets this stick apart from other sticks, so how does it work? I honestly don't know. However I would guess that it is powered by a small battery or capacitor which is charged via USB.


Nice Review :)

I'd imagine the screen uses a Bistable LCD. These displays can be altered when power is present, e.g. when plugged into the USB port, but remain in that position when the voltage is removed
