A small new geek toy: U3 technology and USB


Tags :


I went ahead and ordered the Kingston U3 Data Traveler (1GB) to not only finally get a USB drive, but to add the cool portable desktop theory.  So far I have managed to load and easily configure a few pieces of software:

  • Trillian for U3
  • Firefox for U3
  • Skype for U3
  • Diskshredder
  • Filezilla
  • A small (1MB in size) PDF reader!  Quite quick.  Awesome for server work with readme or install files and no Adobe

First thoughts are that I am impressed with the technology, the ease on installation, the ease of the launcher and a bunch of smaller things.  I am planning on loading the OpenOffice version for U3 this weekend to have a look at that functionality too.

 Anyone else using U3 before I play around with it this weekend and blog it some more?
