This morning Apricorn launched the most secure biometric external hard drive, Aegis Bio.

The Aegis Bio is a hardware encrypted biometric hard drive that allows users to securely access their files with a fingerprint biometric sensor. Once registered, secure files can be accessed with just a swipe of a finger.

Designed for mobile professionals, Apricorn’s Aegis Bio incorporates multiple layers of protection:

• Hardware-based Biometric Protection - UPEK TouchStrip Fingerprint Sensor and Digital ID Hardware Engine

   

• Real-time Hardware-based Encryption - Oxford Semiconductor storage controller IC provides real-time data encryption via 128-bit AES encryption, rendering data on the drive impenetrable even if it is removed from the enclosure

   

• Rugged Design – the bus powered Aegis Bio features a 16-point omni-directional shock mounting system protecting the drive from accidental bumps and knocks

   

• Integrated USB cable for hassle-free connection

   

•  
• More product details are included below.

Exciting news from E-TEN again:  a Pocket PC Phone that combines Windows Mobile 6 and VGA display in the all-in-one Glofiish X500+! It's great to see another VGA display in this segment as my HP iPAQ still has that unbeatable 4 inch VGA screen but is showing its age in all the other specs...

We'd love to test this one out for you so keep checking back for news.

In the meantime have a look at the Press Release below.
