The only niggle is the one or two portable apps I want (like Miro) that are only currently available in U3 format.

I’m not familiar with USB flash drive technology. Most of the people I’ve known and worked with uses regular flash drives. But I learned something on this topic.

Point taken! (post updated ;-)

It doesn’t really matter how goood MojoPac is, you can’t really say it’s better than the Microsoft-Sandisk offering until you’ve tried both.

Granted, MojoPac is here and now and works while the competition is only giving press releases.

I liked it. Since Microsoft and Sandisk don’t have an offering, it clearly is an option.

A better option, because it is here, while the Microsoft-SanDisk don’t say when their new product will be available.

You might disagree. What I like about it, you can run it off your iPod, which means one less disk to carry around.

If you want to try it, you can download it.

There’s only been a press release from them so you certainly haven’t TRIED it.
