Flash drives get smart!
Enter the new world of smart drive computing with Kingston Technology’s U3™ DataTraveler®
28 August 2006 (Dubai, UAE): With the advent of U3 technology, flash drives are rapidly evolving into intelligent, mobile PCs
that are small enough to wear and can save, store and run applications, such as email and web browsing, complete with personal settings. Kingston
Technology’s U3™ DataTraveler® smart drive offers more than just portable storage — it conveniently runs portable U3 applications using the free
preloaded U3 software and is also compatible with software which can be downloaded from www.U3.com, where users can choose from a growing list
of U3-compatible software categories, including communication, productivity, file synchronization, games, photo, security, and many more.
This new world of smart drive computing is ideal for users who move between different locations that have PCs, including home, office or the home of
friends and family, hotel business centers, Internet cafes and print shops. By carrying U3 applications and data on one device, users get unrestricted
and protected access to a workspace that is familiar, streamlined and secure. The Kingston Technology U3 DataTraveler comes with three free U3
applications from popular utility software developers – Pass2Go™, ACDSee™ and Zinio reader.
Pass2Go™ is the portable version of RoboForm software, PC Magazine’s Editor’s Choice with a five star rating and CNET’s Downloads.com Software of the
Year. It memorizes passwords and bookmarks, and automatically logs users into online accounts and fills long registration and checkout forms. The
trialware version provides full functionality for 60 days, after which users can continue with the full version at a Kingston discounted price. Even
without the full version purchase, users can continue to use Pass2Go with modified functionality - for example, the number of allowed passwords will
be reduced to ten and identities to two. More information is available at www.roboform.com.
ACDSee™ is a trial version of ACDSee’s award-winning digital photo management software. It has all the fundamental tools for users to manage digital
photos with speed and ease, supporting JPEG, BMP, TIFF, GIF and PNG file formats with limited toolbar customization, batch processing and archive
functions. The limited version will not expire and users can upgrade to the full version for more powerful photo management features at a Kingston
discounted price. More information is available at www.acdsee.com.
Zinio’s digital publications give users unlimited use of the Zinio reader with an initial trial of up to four issues of some of the world’s leading
magazines in digital format. Whether on or offline, it provides convenient, paperless reading from any PC with subscriptions available at a substantial
discount over newsstand prices. For more product information, go to www.zinio.com.
Every Kingston Technology U3 DataTraveler comes standard with a U3 Launchpad that operates in seven languages: English, Spanish, French, German,
Italian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. The Launchpad serves as a Start Menu from which U3 software programs are launched and other functions are
managed. It creates a personal workspace where you can add and remove software programs, change settings and preferences, manage storage capacity
and monitor information about the U3 smart drive and the software programs residing on it. Backed by a five-year warranty and Kingston Technology’s
legendary reliability, service and support, the U3 DataTraveler is a reliable and affordable portable storage solution.
