 U3 unveiled its first portable USB drives and applications at DEMOfall this week. PC Magazine was fortunate to test-drive the four U3-enabled drives: the Verbatim Store 'n' Go U3 Smart Drive (1 GB, $99), SanDisk Cruzer Micro (512 MB, $54.99), Kingston U3 DataTraveler (512 MB, $42), and the Memorex U3 smart Mini TravelDrive (256 MB, $29.99). Unlike a standard USB drive, these U3 drives are assigned two drive letters, one for a small (4 MB) read-only area, and a second for the rewritable area of the drive. Find out more on each of these USB keys, available in October, in the full preview.

The Sony HDR-HC1 HDV 1080i Camcorder will take anyone's breath away with its superb video quality, but it will also take your money. Priced at $1,999.99 (direct), the HDR-HC1 has a 10x optical zoom, video recording to miniDV tape, and digital still-image capabilities. Even though the camcorder is pricey, it's the first consumer-oriented high-definition camcorder PC Magazine has seen for breaking new ground. That's why it was given an Editors' Choice, despite its few flaws. Discover what those flaws are in the full review.
