Freecom Presents Its 1 Gigabyte Credit Card The USBCard Pro

Tough, Waterproof, USB Card from Freecom Fits in Your Wallet

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) November 13, 2004 -- Freecom Technologies, a leading European manufacturer of high quality, easy-to-use multimedia storage solutions announced today the second generation of its popular USB Credit Card Sized mobile storage device the USBCard Pro. Due to the success of the first generation of this card to the corporate, promotional and general marketplace, Freecom is now launching a new enhanced version of the card.

The USBCard PRO, which fits snugly into the credit card compartment of any wallet, stands above the crowded USB drive marketplace with its timeless and particularly robust design. Waterproof down to 20 meters, and featuring completely scratch-proof magnesium housing - integrating a clever mobile "click"-fitting USB connection - is an essential addition to anyones digital arsenal.

Recent research reports indicate that the worldwide market for USB flash drives is rapidly increasing and will reach $4.5 billion in 2006. The small easy to use USB drives are more durable than optical media and are becoming widely accepted as an affordable mobile storage alternative.

The small card is shipping now and offers a host of internal features such as a variety of memory capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB und 1 GB. It also arrives with a comprehensive, pre-installed software package to meet even the toughest data storage demands including: password protection, which makes the data inaccessible if the card is lost, convenient, worldwide e-mail access (via Outlook Pop3) on any computer with a USB interface, and Auto Run for Windows are just some of the features provided. With an average data transfer rate of 15 MB/s (reading) and 11 MB/s (writing), the USB card is also a tough competitor when it comes to speed.

The USBCard PRO operates with MS Windows, Mac OS 9.1/10.x and Linux 2.4. platforms. Popular pricing for the USBCard is $149.99 (recommended retail price for the 256 MB-version). Also included is a multi-lingual Quick Install Guide and Freecoms unique 2 year manufacturer's warranty and unlimited free helpdesk support.
