CES: LaCie Unveils New USB "Keys" Shaped Like Keys

LaCie's iamaKey USB Flash drive has been out for a while, and has received a warm enough reception that at CES last week LaCie announced two more models of their key-shaped USB drives: the CooKey and the WhizKey. The new USB drives are designed by the same firm who created the iamaKey, and come in a variety of sizes, starting at 4GB and going all the way up to 32GB.

As part of the launch, LaCie has announced that Wuala, LaCie's online data storage arm, will provide cloud-based online storage space with each LaCie USB drive purchased, including the USB keys. LaCie is offering users up to 4GB for two years with the purchase of every key-shaped USB drive, and up to 10GB for one year when you buy any other LaCie USB hard drive.

Wuala is a wholly owned subsidiary of LaCie. By offering up online storage with the purchase of each external storage device, LaCie is encouraging users to back up their data not just to an external volume, but to the cloud as well.

This makes sense - the best backups are the ones that you have both on a disk somewhere and offsite or on the Web where you can retrieve them anywhere, and considering the popularity of LaCie's key drives, bundling them with Wuala storage is LaCie's way of introducing people to its cloud storage offerings.

Snapshots from the New Delhi Auto Expo

New Delhi: The seven-day 10th Auto Expo starts on January 5 and with about 2,100 participants from 30 countries it promises to be one of the largest automobile extravaganza in the globe.

Over 6 lakh visitors are expected to visit Auto Expo in the next one week and the organisers on their part are trying to control the crowds by increasing the fee to Rs 500 per entry.

But hike in prices is unlikely to deter the crowds because the extravaganza of auto display spread over 1.25 lakh sq meters is promising to be the largest in the world over.

The 10th Auto Expo promises to have something for everybody and for the aam aadmi (common person) it could be small concept cars by Honda, Volkswagen and Toyota, all promising to be delivered in the Indian market very soon.

While most manufacturers plan to launch their cars on the first day of the Auto Expo, there were others like Chevy, Audi and Renault who planned to launch their cars just a day before in order to get attention.

Those planning to see Dilip Chabaria's variant of the Tata Nano will be disappointed because it is not going to be displayed at the Auto Expo.

But there is a group of 50 vintage cars that will be displayed at the Auto Expo.

The 10th Auto Expo will witness 10 global launches on Tuesday. Topping the launches will be small and concept cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), along with super-bikes from Harley Davidson.

Some luxury sedans from the likes of Mercedes Benz, BMW India and Audi and a couple of hybrid cars, will be the other draws of the show.

Honda Siel Cars India will showcase its concept car and Toyota Kirloskar Motors will launch its exclusively designed small car for the Indian market.

Exclusive! 2010 Rolls Royce Phantom Centurion

“Custom built showcar for a Las Vegas Celebrity. This custom designed Masterpiece is the quintessential Phantom as conceived for the upcoming concept car for the 2010 model year. Ahead of its time this Rolls Royce was designed and manufactured by part of the design team responsible for some of the most groundbreaking designs of the 21st century.

The long rolling front fenders remind us of the "Infamous Auburn Roadster" While the performance is as scintillating as one would expect from this performance minded "drivers" Rolls Royce. The complete rebody on this vehicle was an elaborate, detailed and price prohibitive endeavor. Absolutely no expense was spared creating what will become one of the most historically significant Rolls Royce Phantoms of recent times”
