Kingston releases new USB drives

D_o_S · Mar 5, 2007, 05:10 PM

Famous memory manufacturer Kingston has released new ultra-portable USB drives. Under the name DataTraveler Mini, the company has made some of the smallest USB sticks on the market, while at the same time it boasts licensed technology from Migo Software.

The sticks are available in 512MB, 1GB and 2GB capacities. The Migo software allows users to efficiently transfer data between computers, thereby allowing them to have all the required data always with them. Kingston has also bundled some games, specifically The Atlantis and Magic Vines.

The two gig stick retails for £14.40 (~$30), while the 1GB stick will set you back £7.20 (~$15). The 512MB version costs £5.75 ($12).
