Photo Contest for Panoramio : ATP, a manufacturer of flash memory products, announced that it is launching a long term global promotional partnership program with Panoramio, a geotag-oriented photo sharing website. This partnership will be kicked off with a co-hosted world wide photo contest which will focus on geotagged photos. Starting on April 1st 2008, Panoramio users can submit photos tagged with GPS location data in four categories designed to inspire the unique advantages of the geotagging feature scenery, heritage, travel, and unusual location. Winners will be chosen monthly to receive a variety of ATP high performance products including the new widely acclaimed GPS Photo Finder, the world’s first on-the-go geotagging device.

ATP Photo Finder
“This partnership was very natural as both ATP and Panoramio offer complimentary product offerings which help enable the geotagging feature in digital photography. Our Photo Finder is the most convenient, universal way to geotag photos on the fly while Paroramio offers the most comprehensive solution to online geotagged photo sharing,” said Michael Plaksin, ATP Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We are looking forward to the continued development of this program, as together our solutions offer the complete user friendly geotagging solution”

Photo Contest fot Panoramio Community
Since its founding in 2005, Panoramio had seen rapid growth to 1 million registered users by October 2007. In July 2007, Panoramio was acquired by Google. Currently, most of the photos uploaded to the site can be accessed as a layer in Google Earth, with new photos being added at the end of every month. The site’s goal is to allow Google Earth users to learn more about a given area by viewing the photos that other users have taken at that place. The ATP Photo Finder allows users to add geographical information to their digital photos without the help of a computer or any software. It is universally compatible with any digital camera using jpeg image files, giving users the convenience of a single device to geotag pictures from multiple camera brands and models.

CORSAIR INTRODUCES “FLASH PADLOCK” SECURE USB 2.0 DRIVES WITH HARDWARE-AUTHENTICATION LOCK

Fremont, CA, August 16, 2007 – CorsairВ® http://www.corsair.com, a worldwide leader in high performance computer and flash memory products, today launched the “Flash Padlock” family of affordable USB 2.0 drives, the safest way to secure your data while on the go.  Priced starting at only $29.99 USD MSRP, the Flash Padlock line of affordable USB 2.0 flash drives address the need for secure data storage through hardware technology, rather than software.  Flash Padlock features “Auto-Locking,” so the user doesn’t need to remember to enable the protective feature—It will automatically lock and protect itself after removal from the computer. 

With its simple touch-pad security PIN entry system, Flash Padlock can be unlocked quickly and confidentially for use as a standard USB flash data drive.  Flash Padlock is impervious to “brute force” hacks or keystroke loggers that would defeat a software secured USB flash drive. 

Flash Padlock is immediately available in two capacities:
Flash Padlock 1GB ~ $29.99 USD MSRP
Flash Padlock 2GB ~ $39.99 USD MSRP

Flash Padlock Security Features Include:

Hardware-Enabled Auto-Lock Function:  Device Auto-Locks after removal from computer.
User Customizable Security PIN:  User sets unique security PIN (up to 10 digits long) for unlocking device. 
Platform Independent:  Works on Windows, MAC and Linux platforms without the use of additional software.
Easy to Use:  Direct keypad access and indicator lights make locking/unlocking simple and understandable.

“The Corsair Flash Padlock is one of the most secure USB flash drive solutions on the market today,” said Jack Peterson, VP of Marketing at Corsair.  “Corsair has built the Flash Padlock specifically for those customers with concerns about inadequate software-based security solutions on a USB flash drive.  The designed hardware security feature puts these concerns to rest,” continued Peterson.

Corsair Flash Padlock 1GB and 2GB products are available immediately through Corsair’s authorized distributors and resellers world-wide, priced at $29.99 USD MSRP and $39.99 USD MSRP respectively.  Corsair Flash Padlock products are backed by a 3-year Limited Warranty.  In addition, a PIN registration service and complete customer support via telephone, email, forum and TS Xpress are also available.  Padlocks are developed and produced by Corsair Memory based on licensed technology (patents pending) from ClevX, LLC.  For more information on Corsair Flash Padlock USB drives, please visit http://www.corsair.com/products/padlock.aspx.
