SanDisk displayed during this CES a new concept for selling music: pre-loaded inside memory cards. Thus you can insert this kind of card directly on your cell phone with MP3 capability or MP3 player to listen to the songs. What is really cool about this concept – called slotMusic – is that the package of the memory cards is on the same size of CDs and carrying the original CD artwork. Memory cards with pre-loaded music are already being sold at BestBuy and Wal-Mart. The price is very similar to a CD, with the advantage of bringing home a 1 GB memory card.

| CES 2009: Victorinox Launches a More Secure USB Swiss Army Knife |

| More Info: http://www.victorinox.com |
Victorinox, the manufacturer of the world-famous Swiss Army Knives, released during this CES a more secure USB drive. Called Presentation Pro, it features a fingerprint reader, so nobody can have access to the files inside the drive but you. Data is also encrypted (128-bit AES or up to 256-bit DES), so even if someone tries to bypass the fingerprint reader by trying to physically modifying the drive he won’t be able to have access to your data. It also features a Bluetooth remote control, allowing you to control your presentation using your pocket knife wirelessly – as long as your PC or laptop has a Bluetooth antenna, of course (Victorinox also sells a companion Bluetooth receiver). Another interesting feature is its integrated laser pointer, making it a complete presentation tool. The product comes with synchronization software to allow you to always have the latest version of your presentations. And finally Presentation Pro is a pocket knife, featuring a small pair of scissors, a small knife and a small sander. Presentation Pro Flight is a special version to allow you to carry it inside airplanes, removing the three tools we’ve just mentioned. Presentation Pro is available in 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB versions and the only problem is the price tag: USD 169.95, USD 224.95 and USD 334.95, respectively (USD 164.95, USD 219.95 and USD 329.95 for the Flight version, respectively).

Silicon Power eSATA flash memory offers read and write speeds of up to 90 MB/s and 30 MB/s, respectively, and can be found in 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB capacities. This new flash memory also features a mini USB 2.0 port that can be used in the case where an eSATA port is not available. In this case read and write speeds drop to 30 MB/s (read) and 25 MB/s (write). No word on pricing and availability has been disclosed.

OCZ has just launched a flash memory that is installed on an eSATA port instead of one traditional USB port, thus providing the best performance in read/write operations. USB 2.0 interface is limited to transfer up to 480 Mbps (60 MB/s in theory, 48 MB/s in practical terms). For users that need to copy a large amount of data on a regular basis eSATA interface is a better option. OCZ Throttle eSATA flash memory is set to come in 8 GB (OCZESATATHR8G), 16 GB (OCZESATATHR16G) and 32 GB (OCZESATATHR32G) capacities and offer read and write speeds of up to 90 MB/s and 30 MB/s, respectively. This flash memory also features a mini USB 2.0 port that can be used in the case where an eSATA port is not available. No word on pricing and availability has been disclosed.
