PNY launches HP v112b miniature flash drives

NY Technologies, manufacturer and supplier of memory upgrade modules launched the HP v112b tiny USB Flash Drive. This is a tiny, but elegantly designed drive that comes in a shiny translucent sapphire blue casing with wavy design to help get a better grip. It comes with a cap, which also features the same wavy design, continuing the body design, when closed. The design makes it water resistant, and it is also resistant to mechanical shocks. The COB packaging helps achieve such a small size. Capacities start from 2GB and go all the way up to 32GB. The 16GB model is priced at Rs.2,500. 

Small on size, large on storage space

A lanyard hold at the far end lets you tie it to a keychain, purse, belt, etc. Plug and play functionality lets you use the drive in Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7, and even on Mac  OS 10.3 and above. Being a very tiny drive has its advantages, giving the drive ultra-portability. The small size and weight also makes it convenient to take it wherever you go to share your digital documents, pictures, video clips and music files.
