Smart and Universal: Flotec's Pockey Drive vs. Trek's ThumbDrive
Trek ThumbDrive
Here's a great picture - as you can see, the Thumb drive is only as big as a key, and it hardly weighs anything worth mentioning.
This is a picture taken from the front. The device is definitely small - in fact, the USB connector alone takes up about 1/4 of its total size! Basically, the device itself consists merely of Flash memory and a controller chip. But here you should also be careful - this little thing is probably easy to lose or misplace!
That's about it for its physical features. The ThumbDrive comes with a disk containing drivers (unfortunately only Windows 98 drivers) and a short manual. Upon plugging it into a free USB port, a driver installation window pops up. After the driver has been installed on Windows 98 or ME, the little Thumb is assigned a new drive letter, making it instantly available as a standard removable device. Copying, moving or deleting data is no big deal - simply use Windows Explorer or any other file manager just as you normally would.
