Tempo Wireless Trashcan

Another one for the “Most Bizarre!” section we have and this time its a wirless recycle bin!

Cagnina Design has recently developed a unique external hard drive for Intech called Tempo. As files are deleted, they are automatically copied to the mini-trash can-shaped device, providing an extra safety net should the user accidentally delete important files. As the 250 GB of space is used up, embedded LEDs light Tempo’s exterior surface from the bottom up, as if it were physically being filled.

Designed to mimic the look of a trash can, TEMPO is a unique hard drive storage device. Intended to protect the user from accidentally deleting files, it can also be used as an external storage device. As you delete files, they are automatically copied to the *TEMPO. As it fills up, led’s light the “can” from the bottom up, informing you of how much space is available.

This gadget sounds quite similar to what my non-trashcan shaped external harddrive has been doing for years.
