Called Portomedia, the start up plans to offer movies via a proprietary USB flash drive and reader, with a supposed ultra fast download/upload speed (95 Mbps). To obtain movies - you can either rent or buy - you must visit one of the company’s touch screen kiosks that’ll be found in supermarkets, etc. At the kiosk, which contains 100s of movies on
hard drives
, you insert the flash drive, enter payment, and the movie is transferred in less than a minute. Currently their site doesn’t detail cost and expiration time of the rentals. They company is based out of Ireland, so don’t expect it state side any time soon.

The BIZZ headset from Bluetrek does double duty as a Bluetooth wireless headset and a USB
memory stick. To access the drive’s contents, and charge the BUZZ, simply unplug the ear piece from the body and insert into a USB port - there’s an optional car charger. Memory capacity comes by way of microSD card and supports sizes up to 8GB. Expect up to 7 hours of talk time and 10 days of standby. Weighs 10 grams and set to go on sale in the UK for just over $78.

Wii fans, meets the Wii USB flash drive. Push the ‘A’ button to expose the ‘male’ part of the USB stick. Hold down the ‘A’ button to push it back in. Looks like you can pick up these pint sized Wii remote flash drives in sizes 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB. Comes in white or black. I’m waiting on pricing info.
Available here.

Fujistu began ‘offering’ its first set of ‘solid state drive’, or as I have awkwardly called them
Flash Memory (hard drive) Based notebooks, today. The drives are set to appear in the touchscreen Lifebook P1610 and B6210. There will be two sizes available: 16GB and 32GB and will carry a premium of $500 and $1,300 respectively. According to
Informationweek, Fujitsu will start by targeting companies that are looking to order 50+ notebooks, so I don’t expect these specific models on store shelves in the very near future, but sometime soon (I really don’t know and I’m just inferring – take it or leave it). The P1610 weighs a mere 2.2lbs, while the B6210 weighs 3.2lbs. The current P1610 and B6210 go for about $2k and $1400 respectively.
