75. SanDisk BookLocker SanDisk BookLocker 22/02/2005 Ready for little tykes to cart USB thumbdrives instead of huge tomes of textbooks to school? SanDisk, which recently launched SD cards with built-in USB and translucent flash memory cards, aims to change the face of textbooks as we know it, while reaping a few e-publishing profits along the way. Its Cruzer USB drive strives to pack e-books into a special secure drive called BookLocker. While this is unlikely to raise eyebrows, the BookLocker begs to differ with enhanced software that securely provides electronic texts for educational applications and markets (albeit via proprietary DRM). Of course, unlike readily accessible paper-based books, users will still need a PC or notebook to read off the BookLocker SanDisk BookLocker 22/02/2005 Ready for little tykes to cart USB thumbdrives instead of huge tomes of textbooks to school?

Amazingly, SanDisk has managed to embed high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity into an SD card, bringing plug-and-play convenience to a new level. Now all you have to do is plug your SD card direct into any USB port to begin transferring your data, images, audio or video between devices. The new mechanical design does away with the need for a removable cap and even features an LED that blinks when data transfer is taking place--all on the tiny foam factor. Hopefully, twice the convenience won't mean twice the price. SD card with built-in USB 11/01/2005 Time to retire your memory card reader.
