Credit card-size USB drive that fits in your wallet

We've all seen tiny thumbdrives that look no larger than the USB port itself, but one problem is how to store it without losing the unit under a pile of stuff? The Clickfree Traveler may not be the smallest USB storage device in town, but its credit card size means it can be easily stored in your wallet. Even better, this comes with a tiny built-in USB connector. Just be careful not to sit on it as we doubt it's as flexible as your cards.

The 32GB Clickfree Traveler is available for US$149.99, though you'll have to factor in international shipping cost of US$55.50.

What would an Apple Netbook be like?

Would you buy an Apple Netbook? To some, this may seem like an extremely stupid question. After all, the company is one which can sell anything, from phones which cannot MMS or even copy-and-paste to MP3 players that can transfer songs only from one computer. Though there have been speculation that the Cupertino company is in the midst .of producing a minilaptop, we feel that a Mac OS X-based Netbook will probably never happen.

One of the key selling points of a Mac lies in its usability, and a Netbook will not be unable to deliver the full Mac experience with its small screen and slow single-core processor. Moreover, an Apple minilaptop will be unlikely to compete in price cuts and may cost as much as another premium Atom machine, the Sony Vaio P.

Software developer jumps the gun on Dell Android Netbook?

Mobile software developer Bsquare announced Wednesday that it will port Adobe Flash Lite to Dell's Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook. One problem: Dell has yet to announce any Android Netbooks in its arsenal.

Apparently, what we have here is a little public relations mixup. The Bsquare press release issued Wednesday morning trumpets how Dell "Leverages Bsquare's Android competency to improve the Adobe Flash Lite experience on Dell's Mini Inspiron 910". But when contacted for more information about this Android-bearing Mini 9, a Dell representative said repeatedly that "Dell does not make an Android Netbook." The Bsquare press release "erroneously mentioned Dell's name" and is being recalled, Dell said.

Why you should get a Netbook for your mom

Granted, staying with your parents has its perks. After all, where else can you get the benefits of an essentially rent-free service apartment with an excellent live-in chef? However, one must eventually leave the roost. In the past, keeping in touch with parents involved phone calls and the occasional visit. But now, thanks to the Internet and social-networking sites, the modern family stays in touch on IM, emails and Facebook.

When my mom first learned the magic of SMS using the mobile phone, I received a message almost twice a day which, back then, could get rather expensive. After switching her to email, I started getting well-meaning spam almost every 3 hours. Now on Facebook and Twitter, she knows so much about what I am doing, we might as well be living under the same roof.
