EDGE Tech Corp has announced a new USB flash drive called the DiskGO U3 Smart Flash Drive. The DiskGO U3 Smart Flash Drive provides users the ability to carry U3 software applications, PC settings, and personal preferences on the flash drive – giving them a familiar computing experience no matter what PC they’re at. So basically – this drive gives you a consistent look and feel to your core applications no matter what PC you’re on.

Of course the drive is all about storing data too and with capacities up to 2GB, the DiskGO U3 should do just fine in that department.

The DiskGO U3 is designed to be an autoinitiating device – meaning the flash drive will automatically launch the software environment (called Launchpad) under Windows once it’s inserted into the PC.  The Launchpad provides access to six U3 applications. They are as follows:

  • Migo for U3 – synchronizes Windows 2000 and Xp to bring an entire desktop including email to any desktop or laptop. It also ensures users won’t leave any digital footprints behind
  • Thunderebird for U3 for email support
  • Pass2Go – password management system
  • ACDSEE PE for U3 for photo editing software features
  • PowerBackup U3 – a light version of the Cyberlink software which allows you to archive data
  • ZinioReader -24/7 interactive online resource offering access to hundreds of electronic publications at reduced rates

The 2GB DiskGO is selling for $59.95. The 1GB will go for $39.95 and the 512MB DiskGO will sell for $29.95.
