11:30AM Nick Broughall | That 256GB Kingston Datatraveller USB thumbdrive we saw the other day? It’ll set you back $1,299. Availability is apparently “built by request”, so you need to be really sure about your purchase before you drop big ones on it…

2:00PM Nick Broughall | I’m all for movie paraphernalia. Especially when the movie is based on a comic book. Action figures, toys, soundtracks, keyrings… But a Wolverine branded flash drive? Maybe if it was in the shape of a dogtag… but it’s not. So why would anyone spend $40 for 8GB of X-men branded USB drive? More »

Kingston DataTraveler150 USB Drive Packs 32GB of Space
5:00PM Gizmodo US Edition | Kingston has dropped a 32GB version of its DataTraveler USB drive, which could be a worthy addition to your gizmo collection if you own a netbook with limited storage (say, like the EeePC).

The estimated retail price is $US139, but you can get one off Newegg for $US80 right now—that’s roughly $US2.22 per GB. [Newegg] More »

11:22AM Nathan Taylor | Okay, this has to be the most bizarre corporate competition we’ve seen. Memory manufacturer Kingston is putting out a call for “both amateur and professional character designers to create the prefect spokesperson for HyperX memory modules”. That’s right, they’re asking people to draw, paint or computer-generate the perfect woman to sell memory modules. The top prize is US$5000 in cash and US$300 worth of Kingston products.

Kingston DataTraveler Micro is a USB Stick with MicroSD Card Reader
5:15AM Jason Chen | USB thumb drives stopped being cool about 10 years ago, but what happens when you stick a microSD card reader on board? It gets cool again, that’s what. Kingston’s DataTraveler Micro does just that, and even holds up to 4GB of onboard memory inside the thumbdrive itself. The reader can read not only microSD cards, but microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2). Prices are approx. $21, $US31 and $46 for the 1, 2 and 4GB models respectively. [Kingston] More »

Lightning Round: Kingston’s 19-in-1 Card Reader
5:30AM Jason Chen | The Gadget: Kingston’s 19-in-1 card reader that not only handles the standard SD, CF, MS and MMC cards, there’s a native slot for microSD and MMCmicro as well. What this means is you won’t need a separate > adaptor to fit your microSD cards into before docking—fantastic, since lots of phones now use these tiny arse cards in order to save physical space (but sacrifice storage space). The Price: $US17 The Verdict: It works. [Kingston] More »
