Hi guys. It's my first post of 2013 and while I have a gospel post and an update to my Project Monkey video game planned, I thought I'd first post the announcements at this year's CES that I find the most interesting, before the news gets stale. Remember I posted on
CES 2012 last year? CES stands for Consumer Electronics Show and for those of you that are into gadgets and gizmos, this is your show. In case you already read this article before I updated it with more stuff, click
here. So here we go:
Kingston 1 Terabyte Flashdrive
Kingston has unveiled a new line of flash drives called Data Traveller HyperX Predator (fancy name) which support USB 3.0 and up to 1 Gigabyte of storage. The 1G model comes out within the first quarter of this year, but if the prices I hear are true, I won't be getting any. The 512G model costs $1,750 (N280,000). Flash drives don't crash from physical impact nearly as easily as external hard drives do, but for that amount, I can buy a dozen 1 Terabyte external hard drives. I hope the price was mis-reported.
