FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Jun 15, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the release of the DataTraveler(R) 200 (DT200), the world’s first 128GB USB Flash drive. The large capacity along with password protection gives users the flexibility to carry critical data with them at all times in a very small form factor.

“The new DT200′s robust storage capability lets consumers store complete libraries of music, photos and videos. It is also a great tool for business users who carry around large databases or files,” said Andrew Ewing, USB business manager, Kingston(R). “The password protection helps safeguard data and requires no admin rights, making the DT200 a terrific solution for the home or office.”
The Kingston DataTraveler 200 features a capless design to protect the USB connector when not in use and is enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost(TM). It is available in 32-, 64- and 128GB capacities. The 128GB drive is build-to-order only. Customers who wish to purchase it can place an order through normal channels (e.g., e-tailers or resellers).

The DT200 is backed by a five-year warranty and 24/7 tech support. For more information, visit www.kingston.com.

Internet security software provider Kaspersky has introduced a new product designed specifically for ultra-portables. It’s designed to work on netbooks and other small notebooks with Intel Atom, Celeron-M, or VIA-C7-M processors that are running Windows XP. It’s been tested to work on netbooks from Acer, Asus, MSI, and Samsung.

So what exactly makes this product different from other Kaspersky security software? First, it’s been designed to work with netbooks that have 1024 x 600 pixel or lower resolution screens. Second, it offers “high performance, even on low-end ultra-portable PCs.” While Kaspersky doesn’t spell out what that means, my guess is that it’s a bit lighter on system resources than some other security software which can bog down slower machines. Kaspersky Internet Security for Ultra-Portables has a minimum RAM requirement of just 256MB, and the software takes up 50MB of disk space.

Along with a slight megapixel boost from two to three megapixels and the long-awaited ability to shoot video, the revamped iPhone camera adds a couple of software sidecars that make it an enticing all-in-one option for anyone thinking of buying a new phone, a pocket camcorder, or both. Overall video quality aside (the iPhone 3GS will shoot standard-definition, VGA video only at 30 fps), the new iPhone’s editing and sharing features trump anything on board the current slew of HD and standard-definition pocket camcorders.
