Lexar "Power To Go"

In July, Lexar will include PowerToGo on all of its Platinum series flash drives ($53 for a one-gigabyte model, $90 for a two-gig; a four-gig model is due in August). PowerToGo noted that it will also run on older Lexar drives (www.lexar.com/powertogo), you'll have to pay $30 after a trial period.

If you have some other brand of flash drive, you can download Ceedo Personal from www.ceedo.com; again, it's a 30-day trial is free, and then you have to pay $40. Keep in mind, however, that faster flash drives provide a much zippier experience; Lexar stated that its Lightning models, are two to six times faster that the typical flash drives.

The installer for a Windows program and add alot more to windows than just the program's name to your Start menu. Behind the scenes, it adds all kinds of little support files into Windows archipelago, placing them into special locations in your Windows folder, making changes to your registry (the master database of Windows software and settings) and so on.

Take look at the product today it’s a true pocket pc for those travels that want it all and not carry a laptop. While it’s limited on what it can do I think it’s just the beginning.
