At the 2011 Toy Fair, Mimoco, creator of the MIMOBOT line of designer USB flash drives, and Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment, the world's largest publisher of comic books, introduce their first Batman wave of flash drive designs comprised of Batman, Robin, Catwoman, and The Joker.

The ultimate crime-fighting/data-storing duo, Batman and Robin MIMOBOT flash drives, boast designs based on recent comic book appearances—Batman in blue and gray, and Robin in red. With their identities concealed beneath mask and cape, the dynamic duo battle evil villains like The Joker, sporting his trademark maniacal grin, yellow teeth and green hair; and Catwoman, smirking from beneath her skin-tight suit.

Seagate announced today that its Seagate TV Remote application has been approved and is now available for download from the iTunes Store. This easy-to-use application can be found by searching for "Seagate" or "GoFlex" in the iTunes store from either your computer or from the app store on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Use of the application requires installation of the latest GoFlex TV HD media player or FreeAgent Theater+ HD media player firmware, which can be accessed and downloaded from the support site on www.seagate.com to either of the two HD media players as long as the device is located in the US.

The new Seagate TV Remote app enables control of a GoFlex TV or FreeAgent Theater+ product from anywhere in the home using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch via Wi-Fi. The app interface resembles the existing media player’s infrared remote controls, making it a familiar easy-to-use device. Additionally, because the app leverages the home Wi-Fi network, there is no need for line-of-sight between the HD media player and the controller, allowing it to be used anywhere within the home.

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced the DataGuardian, a password protected USB flash drive that makes data security easy, affordable and usable.

By now almost everyone who owns a PC is familiar with USB flash drives. They are incredibly useful and have become an indispensible part of our computing environments. We all know that we should be using a secure solution, but the fact is security solutions are expensive, cumbersome and limit the usefulness of a flash drive. Most security solutions require the installation of a program, managing public/ private partitions and administrative rights. These limitations often create more problems then they solve and have dramatically slowed the adoption of secure USB devices.
