      Share

Drop up to 42 hours worth of video on it, run uTorrent, Azureus, etc, and take it with you to use anywhere on the go.

This little bad boy is perfect for anybody who likes to use BitTorrent and download stuff on the go, or even just to have content available to watch elsewhere.

Called the “Cruzer Contour, ” this USB flash drive available from SanDisk next month will take a lot of the headache out of trying to download and access files from different locations.

It features a “sleek and stylish black glossy design,” and also includes an innovative sliding USB connector that retracts into the body. The sliding USB connector eliminates the need for caps and protects the connector.

The Cruzer Contour features a lifetime limited warranty and will be available in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB sizes, and its USB drive will have a minimum read speed of 25MB per second.

It will also include U3 technology so you can carry your files and software safely and securely. You can have your own wallpaper, preferences, favorites, profiles, and more – everything you need for a familiar computing experience on any PC, wherever you go. Additional software includes Skype, CruzerSync, Avast, SignupShield and HP Photosmart.
