Kingston have just brought out a nice looking 32 GB USB flash drive the DataTraveler 150. The flash drive has a nice little cap which fits on the base when the unit is in use. Here are a few more bits of info on the DataTraveler

* 32 GB capacity
* 77.9 x 22 x 12.05 mm
* Talks nicely with Windows Vista, XP and 2000, Mac OS X v.10.3.x+ and Linux v.2.6.x+
* USB 2.0 connectivity

We managed to find the DT150 at NewEgg with a nice US$80 price tag around it. And with bright orange decor you shouldn’t lose this sucker on your desk.

Looking for a cheap mobile phone? AT&T may just have the answer with their latest offering the Pantech Breeze aka Pantech C610. This little sucker blows in at a cooling US$30 after mail-in rebate with a two year contract attached. Here are the bells and whistles

* Quad band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) connectivity
* EDGE High Speed Data Network
* Bluetooth 2.0 wireless connectivity
* 128 x 160 res display
* 3 hours talktime
* 250 hours on standby

* Mobile email
* WAP web browser
* Polyphonic, MIDI, mp3 ringtones
* Calendar, Alarm clock, Personal Organizer
* 4.0 x 2.0 x 0.7 inches

Obviously a very simple phone (what do you expect for US$30) but still manages to pack in a few bells and whistles. If you’re after a mobile phone that just makes calls, the Pantech Breeze from AT&T may just be the solution you’re after.

We were a bit concerned that 2008 wasn’t going to be the year of the SSD, but fortunately the boffins over at Super Talent are on the case and have unleashed a new SSD called the MasterDrive LX. What’s so special about their latest offering? The incredibly affordable pricetag of US$300 for the 128 GB unit. OK, we know that 300 bucks doesn’t necessarily equate to cheap but it’s a lot better then the $1000 options we were looking at last year. Needless to say the MasterDrive LX range offers all the usual benefits associated with SSDs, namely less-juice-sucking, reduced volume and better performance. Here are a few more bits and pieces on the two models on offer

* 64 GB / 128 GB options
* Sequential Read Rate 100 MB/sec (max)
* Sequential Write Rate 40 MB/sec (max)
* Access Time 0.1 ms
* 2.5’’ Form Factor
* 69.85mm x 100.00mm x 9.50mm
* SATA Interface Serial ATA-II

Obviously neither of these suckers beat the $100 SSD from OCZ, but of course you can stuff a few more zeroes and ones on Super Talent’s MasterDrive LXs. Anyway it’s good to see the price and spec wars on SSDs begin at last.
