Hatano Denki updated the original RayTrace with RayTrace2. First things first, destroy all the bombs with the Ray. Next lead the Ray to the goal via the mirrors. There are 48 stages in RayTrace2 which I believe is 36 more then the original.
1) Proporta is coining a new phrase, Mobile Sock. Here they show off a pack of socks which not only fit your Zune but just about any PDA or mobile device. Nice durable material and although everyone has the material to create an alternative, it’s nice to know your Zune hasn’t been hang’in with stinky piggies.
2) Next is the Alu Leather case, not pig skin, from Proporta. The leather case is lined with aircraft grade aluminum to protect your Zune from

Steaming audio and podcasts are today’s hype on social media but when will this convenient and idealistic technology make it into homes and TVs via wireless channel for video. At least in the sense of built in technology rather then home-brew solutions.

Aztech has a Fun Series MP3 player which is nothing short of pure novelty. So common these days are MP3 players with a couple simply buttons for play, rewind, forward – it’s become our modern day widget.
Definitely not your Sansa or iPod so I will file this under USB novelty as at least that’s the connection requirement for uploading to the 512MB of memory. If you’ve been called square before, then you might be interested, here’s the Fun Series MP3 link.

You bought a new computer with Vista installed and now you need to migrate your data from the old PC to the new Vista PC. To minimize any problems you can use the Vista USB transfer cable or migration cable from Belkin to help in the process.

Today SanDisk launched their TrustWatch solution for UFD management. As one could guess, with hundreds of UFDs being deployed in a company there becomes a huge security risk for IT managers. TrustWatch is a well thought out solution to manage the complete life cycle of the SanDisk drives.
In short there are 3 main components to TrustWatch.
TrustWatch Access – this component allows management of the UFD itself, such as passwords, email client, spyware scanner etc.
TrustWatch Vault – This of course is the encryption portion of the solution for the UFD.

U3 announced a bug prevents some applications from running on Vista. The problem occurs when your Vista computer has one or more non-U3 mass storage devices attached. A good example would be your PC having a card reader connected while trying to launch a U3 drive. Not all hope is lost as the error [message: #0x80040210 (DAPI_E_COMM_FAIL)] only occurs when that non-U3 device is connected with a drive letter assigned yet no media in the device.
