07/08/2004 03:49 PMImation Corp. announced on Thursday that it's now shipping the 1GB
version of its
USB 2.0
Swivel Flash Drive, which weighs less than an ounce and is the
size of a AA battery, with a swivel cap hinged to it instead of an
easily lost pop-off cap. When the line of diminutive drives were
first announced in March, 128MB, 256MB and 512MB models were
initially available. Like its siblings, the 1GB version reads and
writes data at 8MB and 7MB per second, respectively, and plugs into
any USB 1.1 or 2.0 port. The suggested retail price is US$360.

Somewhere between a hard-drive based storage solution
and a low-end, disposable storage sits 1GB memory drives like this new
Swivel Flash Drive from Imation. And although the $360 retail price is
steep -- way steeper than a tiny hard drive solution -- it's hard to
get upset about a one and two-thirds of a CD worth of storage in
two-inch stick, especially when the integrated swivel cap means you'll
never lose the cap -- or lose the flash drive while the cap stays
attached to your keyring. It's USB 2.0, too, which means you won't
have to wait hours while to fill it up.

Memory Reading Hard Drive
06/30/2004 12:37 PM
The Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 is 40GB external
hard drive that is clunky, cheap-looking, has a crappy text-only
integrated screen, plays MP3s, but not WMA, AAC, or OGG Vorbis, and
can only read from one card from its card reader at a time. So why
would any photographer want it? Because it's cheap, it does the
primary job it was designed to do (act as remote backup for memory
cards), and can accept as many additional 2.5-inch laptop hard drives
as you want to swap into it, meaning that all other things aside, you
can purchase this single $335 drive and continue to upgrade it for
only the price of additional hard drives.

Okay, it would seem we have a serious problem. I love
flash drives as much as the next guy (I use them when I need to, sure,
but only when necessary), but when one of our nation's most precious
resources - college football players - start shoplifting from
Wal-Marts just to feed their portable data addition, well... something
has to be done.
According to Durham County court records,
he is accused of stealing "an assortment of jump drives" -- portable
data storage units that plug into PCs -- Sept. 12 at Wal-Mart at New
Hope Commons in Durham. The computer equipment was valued at
$374.49.
We
need college football, and if these "jump drives" (known on
the street as 'flash,' 'hotplug,' and 'taking the D train') are going
to affect our young mens' ability to play ball, I say we ban them as
soon as possible before we wake up to a society plagued by thousands
of "pluggies."
Also, isn't calling this kid a punter a little over the top? He has
a disease; show a little respect. (Thanks, Joe!)

going to buck convention and link you to the very end of the article
where you can get their scores and prices, since for some reason Ars's
janky CMS doesn't let you skip forward or backward more than a page at
a time. If you want to start from the beginning, change the 12 to a 1

Oh, spoiler warning: The Transcend JetFlash 110 and SimpleTech

It's
sad that these days, almost anything that refers to itself as a 'spy
something' is probably pretty pedestrian when it's all said and done.
So while this "SPY DISK with card reader" isn't amazing, it is
surprisingly enough that it actually does something cool at all.
Available with internal memory sizes of 128MB or 256MB, the cap-end
also functions as an SD/MMC card reader. You can't copy
directly from the SD cards to the internal memory -- you'll have to
copy to your PC, then back -- but it's a pretty great idea in general,
even if it doesn't shoot lasers or eject poison gas. And hey, it's USB
2.0! Maybe the cheap gear is finally starting to see the light of fast
transfer rates.

Son of the USB 2.0 Hi-speed Flash drive
roundup
04/13/2005 04:36 AMUSB flash drives have become more common, due both to their utility
and decreasing prices. They are a great tool for transporting files
around, especially when the network is down. They are supported on
Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux right out of the box. And best of all,
prices have come down considerably since our review last year.
In this edition, we pit ten drives against one another, testing
them for durability, style, construction, bundled software, and
read/write speed. And once again, the flash drive RAID array makes an
appearance. So if you are looking to get your first flash drive, or
are thinking about replacing your small and aging USB 1.1 flash drive,
you've come to the right place.

as "coming soon" on RWC's homepage. The "Bulldog" is a USB flash
memory device with an integrated 1.3MP digital camera. Keen Gizmodo
readers will recall that Philips has a line of products similar to
this: the "KEY ###" series. Judging by the lack of features on RWC's
version, we're hoping it ends up as a more economical solution.

Transmitter
05/28/2004 11:00 AM
So this 'MP3-Car' is sort of
interesting, if cheap looking. It looks like the idea is that you plug
any USB flash drive into the FM transmitter base, which then
presumably just reads file with an .mp3 extension off the drive an
plays it. It has a line out, as well, that deactivates the FM
broadcasting when in use. Problem is, the Anyware.com site that has
the picture doesn't have a price or a 'buy now' link, and if the
Altech MP3-WM32 or MP3-RF38 are the same units, the price is listed as
$118. Without an integrated LCD screen at least, I'm thinking $40 is
more like it.

I sent the intern out for

in class, too, and found me this really swank in-car cigarette-lighter
USB flash drive MP3 adapter thingy. The idea is this: you plug in the
MP-308 to your lighter, for power. You plug your USB flash drive (up
to 1GB) into the MP-308 for data. You press play, and the device
broadcasts your MP3s via FM transmitter to your stereo via one of
seven selectable stations. I love it; it's brilliant, if a little
pricy -- somewhere in the $120 range -- but it would be perfect for
someone with a surfeit of flash drives already.
