Maxell have announced a new range of flash memory, and rather than picking a format and sticking to it they’ve splashed out on a whole bevy of products. The new storage includes a basic USB drive, through “Slider”, “360-degree” and “Style” models with retracting USB plug, flipping cover and encryption respectively, to microSD, SD and Compact Flash cards.

I quitted achieving data in DVD optical recording media ages ago, but my Aunt Sally in Osaka still can’t get enough of the lowest cost per gigabyte’s optical storage. She wouldn’t be please though, to hear that stacks of al-cheapo Maxell DVD-R of hers are being recalled due to manufacturing error.
