Now you can keep your USB flash drive in your pocket while you copy or transfer files into it. This is made possible by a new product called Touch360.

We created a new product concept that allows users to keep their Flash Drives in their pockets (or purses) by utilizing wireless technologies (Bluetooth, Wireless USB, or other LAN/PAN).

It is needless to say that there will also be a ‘device’ that is essentially a battery-powered RF module that provides a dock for the flash drive.

I am not a fan of Apple iPod. I used to be until I started using Sandisk Sansa MP3 Player. I found out that it delivered all I want in a portable music player. Currently, I am using the 8GB Sandisk Sansa e280.

The Sandisk Sansa Fuze, at 2.0 inches wide by 3.1 inches tall by 0.3 inches deep, it fits nicely in your hand. The illuminated jog wheel is a nice touch on this good-looking player, too.

The robust feature list includes support for subscription services such as eMusic, Napster, and Rhapsody To Go. You can display video and images on its 1.9-inch screen. The player also has an FM tuner (with 40 presets), a voice recorder, and microSD expandability.

The 4GB costs $100 and is also available in 2GB and 8GB versions, for $80 and $130, respectively.

This is not an ordinary backpack, but a combo of MP3 player and a web camera. This means while listening to your digital music as you move about, you can also become an amateur movie producer by capturing the scenes around you (surreptitiously?).

Coming complete with a wireless 2.5GB hard drive, USB Hub, a tiny LCD screen with 4 button navigation and input, and 1 GB of flash memory, the PORTA2030 performs what its creators call “portable data sensing-storage-transmission” as it not only captures video streams in real time but also plays MP3s for its user to enjoy.

It’s a nice gadget for field workers or security personnel who need to monitor in real life what’s happening to other members of the team. Each Porta2030 is assigned a unique IP address for wireless transmission to a central hub.
