The night before the Consumer Electronics Show officially kicks off, the press gets a preview of several companies that are showing off new products. At the Digital Experience press event, we get a sneak peek of some new stuff.
I was impressed with new USB flash drive devices from Lexar Media, which was showing new ways to take the tiny device typically used for file transfer and storage and add applications or additional features (such as MP3 players and security).
The JumpGear MP3 device includes memory up to 512M bytes with an integrated digital audio player (both MP3 and Windows Media file formats), and the JumpDrive Secure 2.0 device offers password protection and 256-bit AES encryption for securing files that are stored on the device.
Other devices from Lexar include USB flash drives that are more rugged (JumpDrive Sport includes a rubber cap that wraps around the device to protect it), and more "stylish" (the JumpDrive Elite is a smaller device that includes a pearl white shell and snap-on caps that attach to both ends.
For more information on these devices, go to the Lexar Media Web site.
The wireless router will be available in February with a street price of $199. For more details, go to the Buffalo Technology Web site.
