I think we all remember the memory card movies for the PSP, a format that is sadly dead. There has been a lot of talk that DVDs and Blu-rays are on their way out, and that all digital formats will take their place.

Perhaps another step was taken today as Kingston and Paramount have teamed up to put movies on flash memory sticks. They started with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 4GB Kingston DataTraveler for $29.99, with no word of when others will be available. Surely there are better Paramount films to put on memory sticks then this one!

As people become more hooked on to various types of memory and portable storage solutions, Kingston Digital Inc. is making sure that they are all given the proper interface as far as assistance in transferring data for all supported memory card formats is concerned. And the key is really in the card reader you have, much of which are limited today. With the MobileLiteG2 card reader, support for most memory cards and memory sticks can now be enjoyed by people who require mobile data and file transfer from one source to another.

The MobileLiteG2 is a portable device that comes with retractable covers on each side for added protection for an individual’s data. It is bundled with a 4GB ($28.50) or 8GB ($46.00) Class 4 SDHC card. The MobileLiteG2 (FCR-MLG) can be bought independently for $11.00.

If you’re thinking about buying a new flash drive and speed is one of the most important details, check out the new DataTraveler 410 from Kingston which was upgraded very recently. The upgrade comes in a form of better read and write speeds, more specifically 20MBps in both types, which are above the average.

In addition to the good speeds to transfer data, the Kingston DataTraveler 410 comes with SecureTraveler software, which means you can use a password to protect all the data. The flash drive is available in 4 different storage capacities, with prices going from $26 (for 4GB) up to $134 (for 32GB). In the middle we’ve got 8GB at $46, and 16GB for $84.

Kingston has announced the release of its latest USB Flash Drive, the DataTraveler which incidentally is compatible with the Apple Mac operating systems ((OSX 10.4x – 10.5x).

“Our DataTraveler Vault – Privacy Edition has been popular with enterprise and government customers who use Windows-based systems and are looking for a safe and secure way to transport portable data,” said Mark Akoubian, Flash memory business manager, Kingston. “We are happy to add Mac support to this 100-percent secured drive so the Apple community can be assured they have an on-the-go storage solution that is the best on the market at safeguarding data.”

Data onboard the DTVP is secured by hardware-based, on-the-fly, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The drive has fast data transfer rates and is protected from brute-force attacks by locking down after 10 unsuccessful login attempts. After lockdown, a reformat is necessary to make the Flash drive operable again.

With all the smartphones around we certainly could use a new 16GB microSDHC card for more storage. Kingstom has announced its new flash memory card an the MWC in Spain and you should be able to get one real soon.

The increased functionality of the latest mobile phones has helped fuel andraise consumers’ appetites for more digital content. Today’s mobile lifestyleincludes using phones as portable media players and as a camera. The Kingston®16GB microSDHC card removes the barrier of limited internal handset or device memory and allows users to store more photos, songs, games and videos.

To get you a better idea of what a 16GB microSDHC means, you should know it will hold 3,000 songs, over 9,000 5 megapixels images and up to 16 hours of video. The card is going to be available at around $90, although you might find even better deals in a short while.

In the market of USB flash drives 32GB is a big number, and that is exactly the same amount of storage in the DatraTraveler 150 which was released by Kingston. This portable device is the biggest - in terms of storage - in the DataTraveler line. Gone are the days when 4GB was alright.

The Kingston drive has unique characteristics that aren’t directly related to the product itself, such as a 5-year warranty and technical support. These must be two of the few special services applied to flash drives, don’t you think?

With 32GB some people might wonder if the drive would be bigger than usual in dimension, but that is not the case, it only measures 77.9mm x 22mm x 12.05mm.

- Operating Temperature: 32 degrees F to 140 degrees F (0 degrees C to 60 degrees C)
- Storage Temperature: -4 degrees F to 185 degrees F (-20 degrees C to 85 degrees C)

Kingston is ready for the next DDR RAM level. I am talking about DDR3 memory modules which are already shipping in the USA. The model you should be looking for is the HyperX from Kingston. They will be the fastest DDR3 made so far with speeds of 2GHz. The 2GB model will feature CL9-9-9-27 @ 1.9v and their price will start from $227.

I’d expect the competition to come up with similar DDR3 modules soon which will lead to a price decrease. Not that $227 is that expensive for the speed the new RAM promises.
