M-Systems releases MyKey with X support
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
September 27th 2002
Miniaturized and highly portable, Mac users can now personalize their data to go
M-Systems, a leader in flash-based data storage products, has announced the first
personalized application for the device called MyKey. Based on the DiskOnKey
Technology platform and designed with M-Systems' new SDK, this application allows
users to personalize the DiskOnKey, offering a quick and recognizable method to access
information stored on the device.
"As the portable storage industry continues to expand, personalization will be the key
to differentiating the device," said Blaine Phelps, worldwide marketing manager. "Our
market research has demonstrated that users view the DiskOnKey as more of a personal
device than a storage medium. We have built upon this concept by offering MyKey, the
first personalized application within the keychain storage category allowing users to
make the device special to them."
MyKey allows users to easily access information stored on the DiskOnKey through a
portal that resides on the desktop. The MyKey control panel can be named by the user,
set with unique sounds and customized with icons including the DiskOnKey kangaroo.
The application initiates once the device is plugged into a USB port and greets the
user with a preset sound offering a recognizable method to access information stored
on the device.
The DiskOnKey also provides the widest flexibility of use by offering access to the
most operating systems, including Classic (8.6 and up) and X. The entire DiskOnKey
line of devices offers the power to take their computing environment and data wherever
they go using the latest DiskOnKey technology with the assurance of award-winning
quality and reliability.
Editor's note: This is neat technology and is a slight but important extension of
existing miniaturized storage products. It would all the better if they offered a
FireWire version; it's just simply superior.
