The Nano Vision is an extremely small USB 2.0 Flash memory device created by memory maker ATP. It is a 300X device, providing speeds of up to 30 MB/s, and ATP markets it as being ready for Vista's ReadyBoost feature. The aluminum body supposedly is waterproof, and despite its compact dimensions, there was still enough space to include an activity LED.

HD DVD Or Blu-ray? Asus Does Both, Just In Case

HD DVD and Blu-ray are competing, and once again it is unclear which standard will emerge victorious.
