In this review, we'll be taking a look at the Adata Nobility N005 16Gb USB3.0 Flash Drive. It's one of the first flash drive to feature the new USB3.0 interface and comes in an Aluminum body with a metal finish. It offers performance of upto 85MB/s:Read and 55MB/s:Write.

Remember, to fully take advantage of the USB3.0 interface and use the drive to its full potential, you'll need a computer or a notebook with a motherboard that supports the new USB3.0. It will be interesting to see what kind of speeds we'll be able to achieve in our "real-life" tests.

I just love anything that's small, neat and compact ... this ASRock mini HTPC looks the business, especially when it's THX certified ... George Lucas, here we come!

"ASRock's Vision 3D small form factor PC brings 3D entertainment to your living room. With its Core based processor and a GeForce GT425M, it delivers both performance and ease of use in a compact stylish package.

... Besides the optical storage option, you can only vary the grade of the processor. The other specs, like its 4GB SODIMM DDR3 1066MHz memory, the ASRock HM55 based motherboard with up to three USB 3.0 ports, the 2.5-inch 500GB 7200RPM hard drive and the integrated Wi-Fi module are all standard. As you can tell, it's a pretty solid system in a form factor that usually limits one to more anemic specs like integrated graphics. Not for this little system though."

"In Shenzhen's electronics markets, an entire building is dedicated to Apple products. You can buy white iPhones—at least the backs—by the case. But why pick drab old white when you can get something even snazzier?

That little pink number almost came home with me. Slip a nail under the left edge and you can lift out a telescoping antenna, perfect for picking up television broadcasts on its Windows CE-based television app. (At least I think it was CE. It was heavily skinned.

Unfortunately they wanted almost $80 for it and I didn't feel like haggling, so I walked past the booths full of knock-off Apple accessories, seemingly legitimate parts like power supplies and USB cables, and walls covered in mosaics of thousands of cases and kept my yuan for finer things."

"Macs can't be on par with certain PCs quite yet. USB 3.0 is slowly taking off in the PC market.  Thanks to early support from motherboard manufacturers like ASUS and Gigabyte, some PC customers now have access to USB 3.0 ports.  And the growing array of USB 3.0-ready devices, like SuperTalent's new Flash sticks andSeagate's new 3.0 TB external HDD allow users to increasingly take advantage of this new standard.

In the face of growing PC use, a Mac user named Tom Kruk reportedly emailed Apple CEO Steve Jobs asking him when Apple's customers might get the gift of USB 3.0.  To his surprise Mr. Jobs replied, but the reply basically made it clear that Apple wasn't going to upgrade its lineup to employ the new tech until 2011 at the earliest."
