Kingston 4GB DataTraveler Mini Fun Review

Nice review, surprisingly small. I like how the connector cover snaps into the back of the key when in use.
The games provided look decent, though obviously you wouldn't expect expensive games to be provided onto a cheap USB key I think they made a good decision by giving out games from Big Fish Games. They're simple, addictive and most of all most computers are able to run them. :)

On a more or less related point, it's crazy how flash based media is cheap. I remember thinking no less than 1 year and a half ago how neat it would be for a computer technician to carry usb keys in a wallet like case instead of CD/DVD. However it was too expensive, a CD being a few cents and a 512MB flash drive was around 25 dollars. Something about installing an operating system from a USB key always appealed to me. :P

Edit: In the same line of thought, Solid Alliance offers lego flash drives. :P

I've got one of those exact drives...........;)

I use it all the time for just about everything. And the wife plays the games all the time............:)

very cool... great review... now can I get someone to send me those games? may be something to keep the wife and daughter busy with atlantis and myself with soduku

That's really neat. With flash drives being dirt cheap, and there being so many from which to choose, neat features and designs are, I think, what will make some more successful than others.

I'd send them to you but my connection is to slow and I'm bandwidth limited as well............:(

Kingston makes good USB drives. I had a Memorex 512 and 2gb and then the school store had Kingston Data Travelers 1GB on sale so I picked one up. The Kingston is by far the fastest...

I just bought an 8GB Sandisk Cruzer for $43 shipped on eBay. That was one hell of a deal...

Now I carry around Call of Duty 4 wherever I go (and hey, it actually works). I just pulled some .dll files I needed and the registry keys. Actually, it turns out I need an EXE of the Punkbuster install too... I forgot... haha.
