The new LaCie MosKeyto is a tiny USB flash-drive with the ability to store up to 16GB of data. Obviously, the size makes the MosKeyto appealing to carry on a key-chain, backpack or purse zipper, or even leave it plugged into the USB port on your computer. It is so small that even if it got snagged on something there is little chance any damage would happen. I generally carry a Lexar, which is quite small, but is probably close to 3 times the size of the MosKeyto. I would definitely have to attach a MosKeyto to something or I would loose it. That said, I like the idea of attaching to a key-chain or leaving it plugged into my laptop’s USB port and not really having to think about it being there until I get ready to use it.
The LaCie MosKeyto is available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB capacities through the LaCie Online Store, LaCie Corner, LaCie Reseller+ starting at $17.99. Additionally, LaCie has integrated an extra 4GB secure online storage from Wuala into the MosKeyto and LaCie Moskeyto offers instant connectivity via USB 2.0 to Windows®, Mac® and Linux platforms.
Today LaCie spawns a new breed of USB key – the LaCie MosKeyto, an ultra-small flash drive that’s anything but pesky. Joining LaCie’s line-up of award-winning USB keys, MosKeyto ups the ante for power, portability and ease of use.
LaCie MosKeyto measures less than 20mm and weighs 10 grams, making it one of the smallest USB keys on the market. Offering capacities up to 16GB, you’ll be pleasantly amazed at how many bytes you can get from such a tiny MosKeyto.
The stealthy MosKeyto becomes nearly invisible when plugged into your computer, and can even travel with the computer in a protective sleeve or briefcase – just plug it, and forget it. Because it lies flush against your device, there is no risk of damage to the port, computer or key if the drive is knocked or bumped. Additionally, if it’s in your laptop, you won’t lose it.
Outfitted in sleek black plastic, the MosKeyto is also equipped with a durable nylon strap to attach to an accessible key ring and a cap to protect its USB connector – so you will never have to worry that its tiny form factor will disappear in the depths of your backpack or briefcase.
“While the MosKeyto resembles to a bug, with its small size and big bytes, this USB key is far from annoying,” said Alexis Kobassian, Accessories Product Manager, LaCie. “It provides high capacities in a low-profile connector, allowing you to insert it into your notebook and forget it. And with its low cost/gigabyte price, you can forget about that, too.”
Additionally, LaCie has integrated an extra 4GB secure online storage from Wuala into the MosKeyto, making storage and sharing more convenient than ever.
LaCie Moskeyto offers instant connectivity via USB 2.0 to Windows®, Mac® and Linux platforms.

The Canon XF105 and XF100 are a pair of compact camcorders that capture HD video using Canon’s XF MPEG-2 F:2:2 50 Mbps codec. Essentially, these are the junior versions of the XF300 and XF305 camcorders. The new camcorders feature a 10x zoom lens covering a 35mm equivalent range of 30.4mm to 304mm and are assisted by Canon’s SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer. Additional features include a 3.5″ 920k-dot resolution LCD that is fully articulating, along with dual XLR inputs.
The XF105 and XF100 have in-camera features for capturing HD 3D video when paired together. Additionally, both cameras offer an infrared low-light capability for shooting in complete darkness at HD resolutions. The XF105 and XF100 record to CF cards. The XF105 offers HD-SDI output and genlock in/SMPTE time code (in/out) terminals.
No word on price yet (I would guesstimate in the $3500+ range), but the Canon XF105 and XF100 should be available in first quarter 2011.

Netflix for iPhone has arrived. And, really this is more like Netflix Instant Streaming for iPhone than a full-fledged Netflix app. While the instant streaming will satisfy a large majority of customers, there is a growing outcry (even on the first day) for the ability to manage your queue outside of the the instant streaming titles, something that you can do on the iPad version of the app.
I was quite stoked to hear this news and had hoped to provide a firsthand report. However, after a full day of cursing my iPhone 3G through software updates, downloads and account verifications, all I get when I start the Netflix app is a bright, white screen.
I’ve read a few other accounts of this happening online, but no solid resolutions outside of some snake oil and voodoo. I’m running iOS 4.0.2, by the way.
I’m hoping this gets resolved soon and I can turn my iPhone-turned-iPod (I dropped AT&T in favor of Sprint earlier this month, but still benefit from WiFi connections) into a little personal TV. This is so cruel right now.
The Zacuto Quick Draw is basically a trimmed-down version of the Zacuto Striker (without the shoulder stock), and actually I don’t even know that you can pick up the Quick Draw as a standalone product anymore. Nevertheless, Zacuto prices have dropped, and the Striker kit is even in a relatively reasonable price range now. [click to continue…]
