This is a fab device and I can’t fault in it any way just wish I could afford the 1GB version. PQI make good flash drives and its well worth the money. Its blue case looks stylish and good quality compared to some of the chunky plastic versions on the market, which look cheap and nasty, works great with Windows XP no faults.
It’s thin enough to go into the USB port while still allowing access to the port alongside. Fast transfer & fits neatly in your pocket I have found it to be very reliable. Included comes a USB2 extension cable and carry strap. Worth the purchase for a good transferable storage media.

If you want to transfer data to your computer using Bluetooth you will need to purchase a separate device called a Bluetooth dongle, which can be purchased through ebuyer site or many other electrical stores.
I purchased a cheaper brand of Bluetooth dongle at first & had nothing but trouble connecting it via my PC & phone. I then decided to buy an MSI one because I have their motherboard and MSI are a great manufacture of PC hardware.
MSI make great devices & I recommend this product through & through. You won’t go wrong buying this device. I had no trouble linking this to my PC via the phone. It was a case of plugging the USB connection into the USB port & linking the mobile to the device and I was away. This was instant compared to the cheaper brand one, if you need to buy one this is worth your money.

The next generation of home networking reveals a great wireless router deliverying high-speed connection of up to 108Mbps, with exceptional range. It took me a while to decide on which one to purchase, ideally I wanted a Linksys router because they have Cisco networking built inside (being the best in networking technology).
However there was the cost issue as Linksys are more expensive. Reading reviews of Linksys showed there was some issues about them being easily hackable. Both taking these factors into consideration deviated my reasoning for buying it so I purchased the US Robotics one instead. Thinking they were one of the first to build home modems, so I thought it would be a good purchase, little did I expect to have so many issues. The configuration software was an absolute nightmare & support wasn't much better. Even the style of it was like a big black brick very ugly and took up a lot of desk space.
So I took this back to the store & said I couldn’t get it working & they weren’t to happy to replace it. They thought I didn’t know anything about networking and they tried to flannel me with incorrect information, which they didn’t seem to know anything about.
I later looked at reviews of this router online and discovered that even highly qualified network engineers were having trouble setting & configuring this router. So if they were having these issues what was the luck of me getting it to work. I then took it back another time tried again and managed to get a different assisant who seemed to know his stuff. I explained the issue and said I would be willing to pay more for another model and he was quiet happy with this so I then decided to purchase the Netgear WGT624 Wireless router an excellent buy & so glad I was able to change it.
The Netgear router produces fast speeds, which drew me to purchase this item and its also compatable with my cable modem. It also comes as a 4-port switch & hardware Firewall. Netgear do ADSL routers too & thats something you have to watch out for when purchasing a wireless router what it supports & its speeds. Not only is this router small compact & stylish comes as silver/black its web based configuration is so much easier to configure. Cost is reasonable and you can’t go wrong with Netgear, if I were to purchase up-to-date wireless hardware I would buy Netgear again & again. Linksys would be the other opition however i can’t say what the configuration is like for this so best to read reviews first.
