USB 3.0 Flash Drive will Get a Role for Smart Phone's External Strorage

Thanks to Moore's Law we've seen flash drives grow steadily smaller and smaller as storage capacity does exactly the opposite. To wit, the new SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 USB 3.0 storage unit is perhaps the tiniest we've witnessed yet. The company claims the device is smaller than a dime and the 128GB of space can store some 16 hours of 1080p video with read speeds clocking in at up to 130MB per second. Gizmodo Australia notes that this isn't the most expedient drive available, but hey, given the rather diminutive footprint it's probably pretty safe to leave permanently stuck in your gadget of choice. That minuscule size comes at a steep price though: $119 for the 128GB model -- or 1,190 dimes.

This small storage will be able to connect to a smart phone having usb 3.0 slot.
It means external SD card slot will be not needed for smart phone and if next iPhone get usb 3.0, it may support external storage.
Great!

Microsoft's Surface Hub will begin shipping July 1. with Reasonable Price!

Microsoft finally has a number for how much it will cost businesses to outfit their conference rooms with technology of the future: Up to $20,000.

For that price, companies can purchase the Surface Hub, a touchscreen computer that comes in either a 55-inch model for $7,000 or an 84-inch model with speedier hardware for $20,000. The device starts shipping in 24 markets starting July 1, the company announced Wednesday.

Microsoft says the Surface Hub, which can be wall mounted and operated with your hands, a stylus or your voice, is a viable replacement for a majority of current conference room technology. It can be used to hold video and audio conference calls or it can be transformed into a whiteboard for taking notes and brainstorming. The device is also equipped with motion-sensing cameras and microphones and will understand where you are in the room to better collect audio and transmit video.

Yet more than anything else, the device symbolizes Microsoft's vision for Windows 10, the software maker's upcoming operating system overhaul designed to power devices of all types, including the Surface Hub. Microsoft no longer cares what device you use or even what underlying software powers that device. It only cares whether you or the company you work for prefers to do its most important work on Microsoft-made software.

I think it's reasonable price compare than PPI. And Windows can expand range of using this garget to existed smart gadgets easily.

This has a lot possibility and it is on natural development way. Most of people already know the multi touch UX through their mobile one.
And this experience will invade to large sized display naturally.

So, I believe that Surface Hub can make new market if they give users natural UX.
