Kingston Technology Delivers to Middle East Market DataTraveler 400 USB Flash Drive Which Keeps Data Synchronized Between Multiple PCs
MigoSync Software, Password Protection and Up to 8GB of Storage Make DT400 Perfect Solution for Business Travelers

Dubai, UAE, January 27, 2008 -- Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the availability across the Middle East of the new Kingston DataTraveler® 400 (DT400). The new USB Flash drive preloaded with MigoSync data synchronization software from Migo Software, Inc. allows users to work among multiple PCs by directly synchronizing files, email and Internet browser settings onto the drive.

“The DT400 is the perfect solution for the consumer or business professional in the Middle East to keep documents and settings completely up-to-date and in sync,” said Antoine Harb, Business Development Manager for Kingston Technology Middle East and Africa. “Accessing email and keeping sections of the drive secure through password protection make the DT400 a powerful device for anyone to stay safely connected with work or home while on the go.”

Available in capacities up to 8GB, the DT400 with MigoSync software helps users navigate between systems. In addition to standard file synchronization, MigoSync also comes with Universal Mail Format1, which enables a user to access email on a guest PC, even when it does not support the user’s primary email application for formats including Windows Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express or Lotus Notes. The drive’s built-in SecureTraveler2 software allows the creation of a ‘Privacy Zone,’ whereby a user creates and maintains a password-protected area of the drive to keep data safe.

The Kingston DataTraveler 400 is supported by a five-year warranty and free 24/7 technical support.
