Sony has announced a duo of Vista ReadyBoost pocket bit mini USB drives. The USM-HX series is available in white or black with 1 and 2GB capacities. Sony is attempting to attract the rich with its gold trim, but we all the rich are too busy snorting coke, crashing cars, and blaming the other kid for all their foibles. The drives are equipped with file encoding software, virtual expander software and a secret lock file. The drives are compatible with Windows and Macs and come with a 2-way carrying case. Both drives will be available in September for $34 (1GB) and $52 (2GB).
