I want a flash drive primarily for data transfer to a couple systems that don't have network access as well as bringing files to and from home. I'd like to have one with hardware encryption since I might use it to store some sensetive account info. I've been digging around some basic reviews.
Anandtech's roundup review: http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2549
Their reccomendation is the Kingston DataTraveler Elite. Good price, fast read / writes, and good hardware encryption.
But then I got to thinking about last week at a football game and how I was pissed I didn't have a FM radio to listen to. Is there an item out there that has the same benefits as the flash drive above, but with added MP3 player and FM radio abilities?
I've found tons of MP3 + FM player reviews of course, but practically none of them go into the data storage / transfer speed / security aspects of the drives (and that is more important to me). Plus I want one that's going to plug straight into the computer without having to hook up a USB cable. Does such a thing exist right now?
Cliffs: I want a flash drive that has, in order of importance
1 - hardware encryption
2 - plugs directly into the computer without need for a cable
3 - good ratings for speed and reliability (i.e. not one that's going to die in a year of average use)
4 - MP3 and FM player functions
