If you are a techy like me then you know U3 is the next biig thing to hit the market but underused in the uk!
Absolutely brill and a great way to take your pc with you to work without having to install all your programs onto your pc (which is most prob) locked down anyway!
Anyway enough of the IT lesson, saw this and thought it is one of the best buys i have seen!
1 x Verbatim USB2.0 U3 Smart Drive / 1GB £12.16
Remember to change the delivery ,method as it defaults to next day for £4.99
I chose £1.69 for royal mail delivery.
I think its a bargain, you can get better deals for a 1gb usb key but for this price and it being U3 and with all the bundled software (shown below)what a buy for xmas!!

Cool, Had a look, unfortunately I work for the MOD and flash drives are not allowed at work. It's a nice idea but I cannot help think that 1gb or even 2gb is really limited for it's purpose. Still a good price for 1gb flash though, good find.
(I got a 2gb fingerprint drive free from Aria.co.uk which I won in a comp!)0 -
cheers for the link, but where is the price £12.16? is that the price without vat?_________0

One review doesn't exactly like the software, unreliable, slow, sometimes wont load on some PCs (2nd review on product page).
As a normal mem stick get a 1GB one for £12 delivered at http://play.com/PC/PCs/4-/902972/Play_com_DataPlay_Flash_Drive_1GB/Product.html
Also available is a 256MB USB Pen Drive With Deep Sea Tycoon & ID Theft Protector for £5 here
and a 512MB USB Pen Drive With Battle Of Britain 2 & ID Theft Protector for £10 here0 -
You will always get problems when new technology is introduced so i wouldnt rely on 1 persons review anyway, have been using it fine for a few days, without any problems, im glad i dont have to take my laptop to work anymore!
Personally for what i want it for, which is taking it to work instead of a bulky laptop to synch my work up its brilliant!0
