IT'S A PEN drive, but not as you know it. The wee Busbi here is what's known as a 'U3 Smart Device', and while this technology has been around a while, I've never taken a proper look at it.
What's a U3 Smart Device? Well, if you were to watch the introductory video at www.u3.com, you'd think it was a style accessory for wankers with catalogue lifestyles: pointing at the sky, laughing into a phone, leaning against scooters. That sort of thing.
In fact, U3 is just a way of putting programs and utilities onto a pen drive so that they're treated as 'installed' on whatever PC you plug into. That means you can set up your favourite browser and even an anti-virus suite and use them wherever you go. A password manager is also included.
The device itself is cheap and sturdy, and the U3 stuff not only works but is also genuinely useful.
