| Sony Ships 'Byte-Sized' USB Drive Sony Electronics is taking the notion of compact to the next level with its "byte-sized" Micro Vault Tiny drive. Measuring roughly 1/2 inch wide and just over one inch long, the stylish unit comes in striking designs and colors with storage capacities ranging from 256MB to 4GB. About the thickness of a quarter, Tiny differs from its peers on several fronts, the most obvious being its tiny size, and five color-coded capacities - 256MB (orange), 512MB (violet), 1GB (blue), 2GB (green) and 4GB (purple) - which provide flexible data storage options. Tiny comes packaged in a versatile clip-on carry case that can be worn as an accessory, easily attaching to a cell phone case, purse strap, key chain, or clipped onto a notebook cover. Tiny is preloaded with Virtual Expander, which expands the capacity to virtually store up to three times as much data by automatically compressing and decompressing files. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
