Apacer ReadyBoost Flash Drive Takes a New Angle

Apacer has a new ReadyBoost flash drive, called the Handy Steno AH421, that has a design aimed to make it a bit easier to live with on a daily basis. One of the biggest issues with plugging a ReadyBoost drive into one of your USB ports is that is sticks out in your way constantly. The Apacer design is angled so it lays flatter against your computer.

The angled adapter also swivels so you can adjust the direction is lays. Capacities of up to 4GB are available and a red Apacer logo flag sticks out of the device to make removing it easier. Pricing is $85 for the 4GB version. Physically the drive measures 64mm L x 18.4mm W and 19.8mm H. When used as a flash drive it is compatible with windows 98SE through Vista, Mac OS 8.6 and up as well as Linux 2.4.0 and higher.
