I gave away, I think 5 Flash Drives in the casino/airport the last day of CES. Sorry Vendors! I had too many and I still ended up with more than I need. A couple of the ones I kept are real nice. I kept a couple for my daughter to use at school. Even in Junior High, she is doing Power Point Presentations for classes and I don’t own a computer with a floppy drive.

It seems that more vendors are giving away their press kits on cheaper flash drives instead of the old CD/DVD. HP was one of those companies, they included a really nice video that pops up when you pop the drive in. This is a video about Lifeware. (the living house demo at CES was amazing by the way)

In addition to the video, this press kit flash drive is filled with a ton of great info. Check it out below.

Both the Life Ware and Sandisk drives have something called ReadyBoost, the literature on the Sandisk drive pictured (in blue) above, has more details.I will post those details in another post. This is something I am just learning about. The point of this post is, companies are turning to Flash Drives to distribute press kits more!
