Singapore's Creative Technology will soon ship a tiny MP3 player that does away with cables when downloading music from a computer.
The Nomad MuVo is a thumb-sized device with a detachable storage portion that can be inserted directly into a computer's USB port, allowing for drag-and-drop file transfer.
Besides music files, the flash-memory storage can also hold any type of data file. Creative is riding on this to market the product as an all-around portable data-storage gadget. "You can transfer and store music, share digital images and data or back up your files in just seconds--no need to burn a CD or send files through e-mail," said Craig McHugh, president of U.S. subsidiary Creative Labs.
