Kingston ships 256GB DataTraveler 310 USB flash drive to affluent Yanks

By Darren Murph posted Feb 18th 2010 2:03PM

No matter how you slice it, having 256GB on your keychain is pretty rad. For those living in various regions of the world not named America, they've had access to the DataTraveler 300 for just under a year. Thankfully, the Kingston finally realized that Yanks love capaciousness as well, and the DataTraveler 310 is the solution that very sect has been longing for. Hailed as the first 256GB flash drive to ship in the States, the DT 310 is capable of holding up to 54 DVDs or 1,984 JPEGs of your undercover lover, and it'll function just fine with Windows, Linux and OS X-based systems. We're told that it'll sport data transfer rates of 25MB/sec (read) and 12MB/sec (write), but chances are you'll never get the opportunity to put those claims to the test. You know, given that astronomical $1,108 MSRP.



USB 3.0 is just around the corner, with us having reported about more and more compatible devices in the last few months. And today, Tokyo-based Greenhouse, usually a reliable maker of crap gadgets, announced [JP] a USB 3.0-compatible PCI Express interface card.

Greenhouse says the maximum data transfer rate stands at 5Gbps (see the chart below), but take that with a grain of salt. The card is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and 7 machines.

It will go on sale on Greenhouse’s Japanese web site in the next few days for $40.



As far as practical renewable energy concepts go, these wind-powered highway lights are pretty elegant. And from my layman's perspective, they seem to be practical and realistic. I like 'em! [Turbine Light via Inhabitat]

A 50-inch display is able to detect up to sixteen fingers simultaneously

Image Gallery (5 images)

One doesn’t have to look very far these days to see the ever increasing prevalence and popularity of multi-touch technology and the additional interaction it offers the consumer. Opening up an even bigger world of potential interactive possibilities is Portuguese company Displax, which has announced the development of a “skin” that can virtually any surface into a multi-touch display.

Based on capacitive technology, the “skin” is developed on a thinner-than-paper polymer film that turns a surface, be it glass, plastic or wood, curved or flat, into an interactive touch screen display.

The technology works by a grid of nanowires placed throughout the film recognizing touch screen interactivity. These input signals are then passed to a microprocessor controller that analyzes the data and determines the exact location where the contact took place.

The hypersensitive lightweight “skin” features air movement detection as well as touch sensitivity, so will, for what is thought to be the first time, react to a user blowing on it, registering both the intensity and direction of the air flow.

So far the “skin” has a size dimension ranging from anywhere between seven inches and three full meters diagonally, and with a transparency rate of 98%, you can still see the surface underneath. At present a 50-inch display is able to detect up to sixteen fingers simultaneously.

While Displax initially began developing the multi-touch technology for use by manufacturers of LCD screens, the future potential uses are many and varied. Aside from audio visual integration through projection displays and enhanced gaming possibilities, the ability to cover bigger areas could see the technology used in a host of commercial environments, both in and outdoors.

Displax is expected to start shipping the multi-touch “skin” towards the middle of the year.



Target's dirt-cheap HDTV is pretty barebones, but it's also an incredible bargain.

SEOUL, Korea (AVING) -- <Visual News> LG Display has developed the world's largest flexible electronic-paper screen measuring 25cm by 40cm, which translates into a 19-inch screen size.

With 0.3mm thickness and 130g weight, it utilizes a metal foil instead of a traditional glass to make itself both flexible and durable. Boasting a high-contrast ratio, it only requires power when the screen is refreshed so the e-paper device features a long battery life.

According to the company, they plan to begin mass production of an 11.5-inch flexible electronic paper screen in the first half of this year via Skiff.

A color laser printer for under $100!

(Credit: Dell)

I've always preferred laser printers to inkjets, as I find the latter slow, noisy, ink-hungry, and generally mediocre at printing on plain (i.e. cheap) paper.

Alas, color laser printers have yet to get anywhere near as affordable as their monochrome counterparts, which is why I'm tickled by this deal: the Dell 1230c color laser printer for $99 shipped.

As you might expect, the 1230c is pretty no-frills. Its paper tray holds a mere 150 sheets, its only connectivity option is USB, and its controls consist of one button and a couple LEDs. Suffice it to say, this is not a business-class model.

Still, it can crank out 17 pages per minute in monochrome and 4 ppm in color, both at 2,400 x 600 dpi. That's more than adequate for home and home-office printing.

CNET hasn't reviewed the 1230c, but PC Magazine gave it three stars out of five, praising its small footprint and near-photo-quality output but dinging its slow performance and high cost per page.

Indeed, as with any color laser, it's imperative to consider the costs of consumables. Plan on spending around $55 on average for each of its four toner cartridges. (I didn't find much in the way of remanufactured or off-brand alternatives, either.)

Still, at least you're not spending $229 on the printer itself, which is the usual price tag. If you want high-quality color printing for a dirt-cheap initial investment, this is almost too good to pass up.

By the way, I have no idea how long this price will be available, so the usual "act fast" rule applies.
