Kingston's new flash memory based portable(pen) USB drive is different than others because it not only has 4GB alone of flash storage but also an onboard SD/MMC expansion slot which can read almost all memory card formats like SD,SDHC,miniSD,microSD,MMC,MMCplus,RS-MMC(my N70 eats this),MMCmobile and MMCmicro card. Now, i assume, with this option of upgradeability, i don't need to switch for other option for more storage. i think it's future proof. Moreover, it's both Mac and PC complaint. Well, it'd be of course PC complaint. :) After all, there are 90% PC user around the world.
I came to know that when this drive is plugged in, two drives are shown in computer as I: and J:(let's say). One for accessing it's own Flash memory and another for expansion slot. Very friendly, umm
This Kingston DataTraveler Reader will be available in Kathmandu within 2 months. Very few dealers might have this but it'll be available readily by then. I would consider it as a tiny portable harddisk rather than pen drive if i own one..
