BioVault is an ubreakable vault which is only capable of being opened by your fingerprint. This makes it an excellent way of keeping your personal belongins safe and secure. Made out of alumunium, it is both light and portable making it ideal when security is needed. For $400 the price is fairly reasonable. It does make me wonder how hard this actual vault is though and I wonder what it would take to break in to it. Still worth a look though if you need some added security while carrying items around.

SimpleTech has created a 64Gb solid state drive. It measures 2.5″ which is about the size of a small harddrive. Solid state drives are useful in a number of ways due to having no moving parts which allows for it to be used in harsher conditions such as heat, shock, vibration, altitude and humidity to name a few. The drive comes in an impact resistant aluminium alloy case. The drive allows for unlimited read cycles and 2 million write cycles and has a 10 year data retention.

Solid state drives recently have started to become worthy competitors in the storage arena and with 64Gbs of data storage, this will allow for more data to be carried around with out the fear of breaking the drive.

With storage on the increase in USB flash drives, we tend to carry more and more sensative information around with us and often without thinking about the greater risk of a device being stolen. More often then not your data is worth far more then the actual USB flashdrive it’s self. There is no doubt that encryption is needed. Most people tend not to be security types though and wouldnt know what encryption is. The Privacy Drive helps with this by including encryption software right on the flash drive it’s self. When you plug in the drive it prompts you to enter a password. No password = no data. The model shown has 1Gb of storage capacity which is not huge, but at the same time, enough to hold sensative information that you really do not want others to get a hold of. Protection is provided by 256bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). The flash drive runs at USB 2.0 speeds and ensures fast file transfers.

Portable storage is becoming more popular as time goes on. With time passing, we also see larger memory cards becoming available as well as larger flash drives. However, the seriously large flash drives still can cost hundreds and it’s not often worth spending that much knowing that in 6 months time the price will be half what it was when it first came out. So, along comes the Pocketec Nano drive. The nano drive packs 12Gb of storage on to it’s 1″ squared unit. Inside there is a small harddrive which stores all the data. With being able to store so much data in one place, you need to be aware that you run the risk of loosing a lot of data. As far as we can tell, there is no built in encryption so it might be worth while being careful what you keep on this thing. If it’s just your latest movies and MP3’s then I guess you have nothing to worry about.

Haicom have introduced the HI-505SB bluetooth receiver. The device plugs direct in to your SD slot on your portable device such as a Pocket PC. The device has no batteries and it uses the battery of your Pocket PC to keep it going. If you are worried then you will have lost an SD slot then no need for that… you just plug in the SD memory card in to the receiver and you still have access to all your files/maps and what you need. The GPS receiver is a SiRF Star III GPS device and this also crams in a bluetooth antenna in there too.

No prices are available yet but we expect them to be announced shortly.

Kodak is launching an ink cartridge that will allow photographs to be archived for 100 years. Apparantly standard ink jet cartridges will start to fade and go bad after 15 years. Also to add to this, the ink costs half the price at $9.99 for Black and $14.99 for colour. These prices are compared to competitors prices such as HP, Epson etc… The Kodak printers that these cartridges are for are capable of printing 22 photos per minute. s have said good things so far. We do not know yet the quality of the print, but we can hope that Kodak wouldnt release a product with bold claims and then mess it up with bad quality images. Maybe I best print some pics now and then report back in 100 years to let you all know how they looked.
