Kingston Technology is renowned for their flash memory products, and the company forges onward by expanding its line of USB flash drives by introducing the DataTraveler HyperX (also known as the DT HyperX) and the DataTraveler 110 (DT110) models. Both of them aim to leave the competition in the dust, designed for ultra-fast read/write speeds without breaking the bank. Both the DT HyperX and DT110 drives come in varying capacities, maxing out at 8GB.
According to Joe Teng, Flash memory product manager, Kingston, “Taking its cue from our HyperX line of industry-setting high-speed memory modules for gamers, enthusiasts and overclockers, the DataTraveler HyperX offers exceptionally fast read and write speeds, whereas the DT110 provides an economic way to transfer and transport data whenever and wherever you travel.”
The DT HyperX boasts a theoretical data transfer rate of 30MB/sec. read and 20MB/sec. write, and was specially designed to run on any Windows Platform but would probably fulfill its potential on Vista-based systems since it has already been enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost. As for the DataTraveler 110 , this targets the more budget conscious markets (can you say students and average office workers?) without sacrificing on performance. The DT110 also does away with the risk of you losing the cap, since it employs a capless, retractable USB connector for ease-of-use and safe housing.
Features and specifications of the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX USB Drive include :-
The DTHX/2GB 2GB HyperX, DTHX/4GB 4GB HyperX, and DTHX/8GB 8GB HyperX will retail for $74, $131 and $266 respectively.
If you have an office that’s as cluttered with gadgets as mine, you tend to appreciate convergence products. You have to be picky about which functions you want to have packed into a single device. For instance, a webcam built into your monitor might be cool, however, a mouse that’s also a label printer is not. (Yes, such a thing does exist). Here’s one that I’m pretty undecided on. It’s a Skype phone that’s built into your keyboard.
I’ve never actually seen the point in having a Skype phone, as I’ve found using the same headset for making calls and chatting with guildmates online to be easiest. Of course, not everyone has a headset lying around, and most people are used to talking on a normal phone, which is where this comes in. It really seems like a good idea, as you’re probably not going to be moving your phone or your keyboard far from your computer. However, to keep the keyboard a decent size, they had to make the phone receiver extremely tiny. This is where they’ll likely lose people. I know that I wouldn’t want to hold onto a phone that small for the duration of a lengthy call.
Look for Buffalo to launch this in Japan this October for around $65. There’s currently no word on a US release.

Since the iPod dock market is just getting bigger and bigger, it stands to reason that iPod docks have to be more interesting with better features. Hence the introduction of the iTube, one of the grooviest iPod docks out on the market today.
As you can see, the iTube looks like something that Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader would fight each other with. It is actually a glass tube filled with water and lit with colored bulbs. Many gadget sites call it “a 21st-century version of the Lava Lamp”, and I can’t help but agree.
However, the Lava Lamps of that psychedelic bygone era were never iPod speakers capable of 360-degree acoustic sound. The user also never had the option of controlling the light patterns and bubbles.
These light pattern and bubble settings can be controlled via remote control. According to a YouTube clip, one setting is labeled “Candy”, and another “Tylenol”. I am assuming that Tylenol is the setting for a headache. There is another one called “Viagra”, and I suppose I don’t have to explain the occasion for that. The iTube also has an aromatherapy function for a more holistic experience.
You should be able to get it at the Aquallusion site for about $249.00.
I’ve said it before, and I don’t mind saying it again. If you want to get rich quick, start up a company and design your own generic Apple add-ons and peripherals. Doing it for the iPod line alone is more than enough to make you rich, at least earn more money than the average Joe on the street. After all, there are dozens of iPod cases, sleeves, MacBook bags, iPod speaker docks - you name it, they have it. Never mind the brand (although good branding would go a long way in establishing you as the market leader), but most generic add-ons come slapped with a hastily designed logo. Apple themselves aren’t going to let this lucrative market go to waste, and hence they have announced that they will be carrying accessories for the recently released MacBook Air.
Currently, Apple is ready to take orders for a slim external optical drive as well as an Ethernet adapter - where both peripherals were specially designed for the MacBook Air. Design purists need not fret as this means Steve Jobs and gang have officially sanctioned these devices, so you won’t look awkward in public when your MacBook Air is attached to an external optical drive, as though it was the Hunchback of Notre Dame walking hand in hand with Miss Universe. The external optical drive is known as the MacBook Air SuperDrive, and is capable of playing and burning CDs and DVDs without taking up too much space on your desk or tray table. The SuperDrive measures 5.47″ x 5.47″ x 0.67″ and weighs a mere 320 grams, making it a cinch to tote around especially during your travels. It is powered by your MacBook Air’s USB port, so there is no need to lug around an additional power adapter. The MacBook Air SuperDrive retails for $99 a pop while the USB Ethernet Adapter sells for $29.
