Kicking around in technology since 2002. I like to write about technology products and ideas, but at the consumer level understanding. Some tech, but not too techie.
Posting on Quora.com as well.
A-Data won the Best of Innovations Award for CES 2007 on the Super Info SD Card. The A-Data Super Info Secure Digital card uses bi-stable EPD (Electrophoretic Display) technology to display available space on left of the flash memory without needing any additional power.
In addition, one can use 2, 3 or 4 characters to ID the SD card. As seen in this photo there is a full 2GB Secure Digital flash card used for the photo-shoot.

Kingston teamed with MyMemory to develop and offer a Flash Memory vending machine. I have an iPod and gadgets vending machine at my local grocery market already – I like this concept because I’m more likely to need flash memory than an iPod.
This is a pilot program with Kingston and units are already operational in London.

We’ll add this to the list of, “where’d my UFD go” as Trascend’s T2K UFD (USB Flash Drive) is one of the smallest of it’s kind. Thank God they included a slot and tether to batten her down to our person. Enjoy the T2K in 1, 2 and 4GB capacities. Apparently Transcend uses a special sealing process to bond the plastic case to the internal memory, pcb and connectors.
Included on the UFD is JetFlash Elite software which are eight applications which ship free of charge. Those are: auto login, PC lock, favorites, secret zip, e-mail client, data backup, My JetFlash to easily access files and on-line JetFlash Elite update utility.

PSP Blender is a great PSP download site for games, music, movies and software. For about $37 per month you get unlimited downloading and with 20 million items to choose from, I don’t think you’ll be bored anytime soon. So load up your digital pacifier and mentally check out.
Video-Out Card Adaptor is a traveling salesman’s best friend. Load up a MiniSD or MicroSD card with your razor-sharp-sales-pitch and hit the road because this adaptor turns your PDA or SmartPhone into a traveling video station. At one end is the VGA connector and the other a flash memory adaptor to seamlessly transmit video from your device to desktop display or projector. Max resolution isn’t bad either at 1024×768. Connection ability doesn’t stop at VGA either, you also have S-Video and RCA video outs. To really impress those phone jockeys on the sales floor, control the slideshow with included remote. NTSC and PAL supported.
Can’t stand iPods, looking for an iPod alternate? The Tomato MP3 player from PlayTomato is a good front runner. This 2inch TFT LCD screen provides superior viewing quality to most PMP units at 260,000 colors. Plays both video and photo, as well as MP3 and streaming radio.
Not sure about the sound quality as that depends on the compressions engine used. With a MiniSD slot for additional storage the Tomato MP3 player is kinda sweet. On board USB for sync, speakers for listening and mic for recording.

Here is an out-of-the-box solution for turning those high capacity Compact Flash memory cards into SATA hard drives. The CF to SATA hard drive adapter is ideal for using CF as a bootable device containing OS or application data.
The adapter is compatible with Compact Flash type I and II and will provide a full functioning SATA interface.
The adapter card is also fully compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Linux – in case the application is something other than embedded.
The CF to SATA adapter is $25 without power supply and $35 with power supply so a reasonable price for what you get.
