Kingston Wi-Drive Review
There are some smartphone accessories that make you go “huh? Who would buy this?” And then sometimes there are ideas so smart you think, “Wow!

Hands on with a Mimoco Han Solo 4GB Mimobot Thumb Drive; Carbonite Included

Victorinox Puts 1 TB of Swiss Storage in Your Pocket
This past week I did not see too much earth shattering news regarding USB flash drives at CES. I had a chance to swing by the Victorinox booth to check out their 2012 product offerings.

SanDisk Brings Out the Sansa Clip Zip
While I do like iPods, I still love other MP3 players as well. One of my favorites is the Sansa Fuze+ after the latest firmware update. Sandisk also has made many other Sansas, and one of the Linux community’s favorite ones has been the Sansa Clip. Just when I didn’t think the Clip could get [...]
The SanDisk Ultra 8GB USB Flash Drive Review
