Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing about the USB shaped like a credit card.
Because USB flash drives weren’t easy enough to carry around in the first place Top tech has designed a new travel style drive for everyone.
Slim Data is a USB drive as a card. That’s right, it’s like having another credit card, except this one folds in half to reveal the USB and attach to any Windows, Mac, or Linux machine. There are five colors at 4GB and $25 each (not a huge price difference compared to your average flash drive.
Flash drives are all travel size, but if you’re walking around with a wallet in your pocket anyway save your other pocket space and add your USB drive to your already full pocket. Just hope that card doesn’t get lost amongst the other hundreds or cards already bursting in your wallet.

Building Additions
Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing about the Lego USB hub.
We all love USB drives, USB cords, USB anything, but most computers don’t come with quite enough USB ports for anyone’s taste. That’s why the Lego themed USB hub sounds like such an excellent idea.
Lego remains a popular design theme in the world of gadgetry (whether or not the devices are actually branded by Lego). This USB hub would look no less attractive than any of the other brick related gadgets on the market today. It doesn’t appear to be available in America just yet, but I’m sure it’s on its way. It’s popularity and necessity just doesn’t com into question, who doesn’t love Legos?

Mini and Mighty
Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Read about the smallest flashdrive yet.
USB drives were small enough before, but hey, gadgets are always evolving at a time where size still does matter.
Eagletec has developed pretty much the smallest flash drive yet at 19×15x16 mm. It still holds between 4 and 8 GB (depending on how much cash you’re willing to put down). The size is smaller but storage and pricing are still about on par with many other flash drives on the market today.
I’m definitely an advocate of the flash drive, I’m an advocate for multiple flash drives, but in spending so much time depending on one I know what problems arise when a normal flash drive is misplaces. I don’t know how I feel about shrinking my most misplaces gadget any further, even if the Eagletec Nano does come with a lanyard.

Video Game Reality
Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing about the latest in virtual reality.
I’ve posted about personal projector glasses before, but lets talk virtual reality.
The Vuzix looks very much like the Myvu but with the addition of a virtual reality kit for its VR920 eye ware. The addition is a USB camera that will supposedly track anyone’s position in three dimensional space. This essentially means that as you interact with a program tied to the eye ware images and other related information related to any current activity can appear to help or supplement the experience.
Vuzix’s iWear is all set up to expand the opportunities and possibilities in virtual worlds, but they’re not stopping at mere projection of video, audio, microphone, head tracking, and now space interpretation are going to continue to change everything. Even beyond gaming, this stuff is cool.

Store Better than Before
Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing. Read about the latest in flash drive updates.
So we know I love the flash drive, so it’s no surprise I’m intrigued by Leyio’s new personal file sharing device.
It’s a flash drive taken to the next level. It stores files, can take files off of other flash drives (it has its own USB port built right in) . It’s secured with a finger print scanner and it can wirelessly transfer data to your computer or another Leyios.
It comes with a digital screen, but doesn’t use wi fi. Wireless connections come through ultrawide-band radio, which means to wirelessly transfer to a computer you’ll need to buy a little extra. It’s due out this month :)

Speaking Small
Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing. Read about another cool mini portable speaker.
Lets be honest, some portable speakers aren’t all that portable. Well, the X mini has a new design, and new features, and remains pretty mini, and pretty portable.
The X mini II is slightly larger than the original X mini, but with features to match. It can be charged through a USB connector cable, can boost volume of laptops, MP3 players, and phones, and (if you get your hands on more than one you can chain them together to get especially pumped sound.
With a small globe esque design the X mini II is backpack friendly, which is exactly what a portable speaker should be.

Simple Storage
Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing about the cable that will link your computer and external hard drive so your files are truly safe.
With applications like Apple’s Time Machine automatic and personalized computer back up is the new trend in safe storage. But what about everyone who bought external hard drives before the new boom? Shouldn’t they be rewarded for their foresight? For their understanding that backing up your files, especially before computers were as reliable as they are now, was a necessity and not just a commodity?
Well, Clickfree has decided to reward those intelligent few with the Transformer Cable. All you have to do is plug the transformer cable into the USB slot on your computer, plug the USB hard drive into the cable, and your files will automatically back up. How simple! The only question is, with hard drive prices dropping every day, how do you feel about the $59 price tag?

All About the Money
Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing! Read up on the latest style in flash drive fashion.
We all know change is compact, but we also know how easily it can disappear from even the deepest pockets. That’s why Lacie’s new CurrenKey coin shaped flash drive is such a mixed blessing.
All portable flash drives are relatively travel sized and the CurrenKey even more so. It’s portable, looks cool, comes in bronze or silver, 4 GB or 8 GB respectively. Priced at $20 and $30 it’s a nice price for that storage capacity. I still recommend caution, you don’t want to go handing out your work files as a tip, but hey, a flash drive like this can make anyone feel like a secret agent.

A Secret Diary
Chris McGinn posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the all new diary for girls, in the form of a USB.
When I was a little girl I had the diary with the lock that was supposed to keep my secret hopes and dreams safe. Meet the new, teched-out version– Take’s Secret Diary USB flash drive designed for teens.
The small drive has a key-pad for entering your personalized 3 to 10 digit PIN-number. Encrypted with hack-proof software, what you write is for your eyes only. If you worry about forgetting your PIN, they have PIN replacement assistance and a Never-Lost backup subscription that retains your diary entries in case of loss or theft.
This drive is geared toward girls with fun games and widgets such as a Fortune Cookie feature, rate everything from boys to movies to restaurants with My Stars, and analyze your dreams with Dream Catcher. Not sure what to write, try Thinking Deep to point you in the write direction. There’s even a Mood Art feature that analyzes your words and adds appropriate “mood” colors to your page.
You can personalize entries with a variety of backgrounds, colors and text styles. You can also include your own photos and add drawings (ala Perez Hilton)
It sells for $59.95 via Amazon.

Photo Resurrection
Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing. It's about a cool new scanner that can be used on the negative strips from the time of film cameras.
So I’m not that old, but I must say that my earliest childhood moments are recorded on film, not online. I remember loading film, and to be honest, I liked it.
So now the USB Negative Scanner comes into play. Still have all those negatives hiding in drawers stored in envelopes from CVS? Well now it’s time to share the memories in our new digital age. It’s simple, load the 35 mm negative strips into the bottom of the scanner and suddenly you are the proud owner of a new wondrous library of digital pictures.
Give new life to old stories, upload an excellently embarrassing profile picture, the options are unlimited! Think of how much extra use you’ll get out of any new film photos you take today. I know kids taking a black and white photo class and as lovely as their final prints are it’s hard for those photos to translate appropriately to the computer through the lens of a digital camera. Add in the fact that this scanner is much more desk sized than a regular scanner and you see how college friendly it becomes. At $140 it’s not the cheapest gadget you’ll ever buy, but not the most expensive either. And memories are priceless, right?

One For Five - New Blog Post
Jessie Atkin has a new blog post on Digital Landing entitled One for Five
If you’re like me, or at least own a computer, odds are that the wiring clutter on your desk can get a little hard to handle (especially when moving, like in and out of a dorm room). Well, here’s a chance to simplify the mess...
