Sony Micro-Vault Click USB Flash Drives "Ballpoint Pen" Click to Open Function, Prism Light Illumination, Virtual Expander Compression

OK, I admit it. I can't help myself when it comes to writing about new
USB flash storage devices. They're all so cute and full of potential.
Yeah, I didn't think I could pull it off either. But there's one thing I
can say about the newest flash drive offering from Sony; they're pretty
damn cool. They haven't really done anything novel with the concept of
the USB flash drive, but the design, which offers a unique spin on the
whole no-cap thing, is most certainly worthy of mention. So let's
begin.
Sony has unveiled a brand new set of USB flash storage devices under its
Micro-Vault product line that has added a novel design feature to the
ubiquitous device. They've removed the cap. I think it's partly because
they know that about 99% of USB flash drive users will lose them within
the first 30 seconds of use and partly because they had a much better
idea. The new Click series of Micro-Vault flash drives has integrated a
ballpoint pen-like clickable feature that causes the business end of the
drive to pop out when it's depressed. Click it once, it's open. Click it
again, it's closed. There's got to be some marketing gold in there
somewhere.
Along with the clickability comes a near Prism light that illuminates
while the drive is in use so that you don't go ripping it out before
it's time. There are a couple of other items of note like support for
Windows ReadyBoost – which lets you use part of the flash drive as
your system cache – and Sony's Virtual Expander compression
software that automatically compresses and decompresses the files as you
move them back and forth from the drive to your computer.
The Sony Click Micro-Vault USB flash storage drives are available in
1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 43GB capacities and each one has a unique
color to help you tell them apart.
