Based on the innovative U3 smart drive computing platform, the Kingston U3 DataTraveler creates a secure workspace. Built into the smart drive, the U3 Launchpad; similar to a Start Menu, allows the user to launch programs; add/remove software; change computer settings or preferences; manage storage capacity and monitor programs.


The combination of a new U3 smart drive platform and Kingston's popular Data Traveler, offers consumers more than portable file/data storage. These drives can be personalized with software that is relevant to the way they work -- conveniently carrying and launching a wide variety of U3 smart software applications including productivity, multimedia, backup/security, games, medical, utilities, photo imaging and graphic design software available at www.u3.com as well as via one click directly from the U3 launchpad.


Compatible with both Windows 2000 SP4 and XP, the new U3 DataTraveler smart drive solutions offer password-protected data security, a five-year warranty and free 24/7 technical support. Available mid-October, U3 DataTraveler units are color-coded in silver with purple grips for the 512-MB version and silver with black grips for 1-GB capacities.
