The sweetest temptation since USB drives were invented is the M300 Lollipop. The storage device is shaped like a lollipop and comes in many bright colors—lemon yellow, orange, strawberry red, apple green and grape blue. A chain connects the drive to the “lollipop” cap, so the cap cannot be lost. The chain can also attach the drive to trousers or a key ring. Beyond its unusual appearance, the M300 Lollipop also delivers solid performance, with a read speed of 23 MB/s and a write speed of 10 MB/s. It is available in 2, 4 and 8 GB capacities.
The S300 Em-Desk Mini is genuinely tiny, measuring 31 x 15.5 x 5 mm. Its 23 MB/s read speed and write speed of up to 10 MB/s make it a true high-speed drive. Coated in black rubber, the S300 Em-Desk Mini feels comfortable in the hand. A rubber strap can also attach it to a mobile phone, keeping important data close at hand without risking the loss of the small drive.
The S300 includes Em-Desk software with applications for web browsing, sending and receiving email, and office tasks. It can also manage all types of multimedia files. No traces are left on the host computer, and data is protected and secured against virus infection. Operation is intuitive: when the drive is inserted, a menu opens and users can access the desired program directly. A major advantage of Em-Desk is that the free software may be used, copied and distributed without limit. If deleted, it can be downloaded again at any time from the Em-Desk website at http://www.em-desk.com. The S300 is available in 2, 4 and 8 GB capacities, with a 16 GB version to follow soon.
