The entire exterior is made out of metal to help it look as close to its namesake as possible, and is connected to a computer via USB 2.0. The 4GB model will come with a bronze exterior while the larger 8GB model takes on a silver approach, retailing from $19.99 upwards. Hopefully you won't mistake this for an actual coin when you're in a hurry, or otherwise your precious data will also disappear along with the CurrenKey itself, accompanied by a bunch of other coins./p pPermalink: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/12/lacie_currenkey_takes_a_different_form_factor.html"LaCie CurrenKey Takes A Different Form Factor/a from Ubergizmo (a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com"US/a, a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/fr"FR/a) | a href="http://www.uberbargain.com/"Good deals/a | Hot: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/blackberry_storm_review.html"Storm Review/a/p pmap name="google_ad_map_081201185310" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/081201185310?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_081201185310" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-7335032025195922amp;channel=9684588219amp;output=pngamp;cuid=081201185310amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F15%2Farchives%2F2008%2F12%2Flacie_currenkey_takes_a_different_form_factor.html"//p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/VWfqpPmep1xmcXLn2hqsHDLVDRc/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/VWfqpPmep1xmcXLn2hqsHDLVDRc/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=mswXJRkp"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=hNZGM6BT"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=hNZGM6BT" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=yGikWVd8"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=6hKeUGJB"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=6hKeUGJB" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=ZQ9QvcR1"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=ZQ9QvcR1" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ubergizmo/~4/rfaF1CES3Nk" height="1" width="1"/

I've been waiting for this product forever featured here. Does anyone know when it will be released?

How do I transfer some of my "favorites" from my PC to my new MacBook??
Thanks,
Rick:confused:

I recently had a little accident with my Mac and had to reinstall iTunes and import all my music back in there. Now, I have my iPhone and my nano that both have playlists on them. But because I had to reimport all my music in there, the I don't want to sync either because I am afraid that wheN I do, the playlists will be removed from both. Is there any way to export a playlist from my iPhone/nano to recreate it on my Mac? Or any way to sync them to my Mac and not lose the playlists?

i am getting this weird problem when i grab pictures from the internet and drag them to my desktop.

first it will take a couple seconds for it to fully download and if you look at it before its done there will be a gray spot over the part it hasn't gotten yet.
now im all dandy with that.

but in the image on the icon it will still have half the picture cut off. its strange, and never is consistant. sometimes it will do it to the same file downloaded multiple times.

i have tried not opening it till its fully done and a few other things that i should not have to do.

here is what im talking about.

Question:
One day one of my best friend asked me that how he could put all his music in iPod to his computer.

Answer:
I solved his problem after I found Aiseesoft iPod to Computer Transfer.. So today I write this guide to show how to transfer Music from iPod to Computer.

Software Requirement: iPod to Computer Transfer
Aiseesoft iPod to Coumputer Transfer is a powerful iPod to computer transfer that can transfer all the iPod things to your computer, most importantly it supports all the iPods, from the oldest one to iPod nano-chromatic.
Firstly, connect your iPod to your computer
When you plug your iPod into your computer, Aiseesoft iPod to Computer Transfer can automatically load your iPod into it.
Secondly, choose songs
Choose the songs, videos, and other things that you want to backup at the top of the window. (1)

Finally，the most important and the last thingyou need to do are to click the ”export to pc” button. (2). After you click ”export to pc” button a pop-up window will appear and with it you can choose where you place your iPod songs and videos.
Few seconds later you will have your iPod songs, videos and other things on your computer.

Tips：
1. To make your backup in a good order, you can click ”Track Filter” button (3). Aiseesoft iPod to Computer Transfer classily your songs and video into ”Grene”, ”Artist” and ”Album” 3 classes.

2. For the beginner of iPod you can know the generation and name of your iPod from Aiseesoft iPod to Computer Transfer. And you can also know how many spaces have used and how many left in your iPod.


3. This one is really important. If your iPod is iPod touch and iPhone, you have to install iTunes when you use this software. To other iPods, it is not necessary, you can use any computer you want.

PS. I also found a good news that you can getAiseesoft DVD to iPod Suite with only $35. it includes a Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter, a Aiseesoft iPod Movie Converter and a Aiseesoft iPod to Computer Transfer.

Someone gave me an avi file to watch and there is no sound. When I first opened it started playing, and I was prompted, you need to download additional features, or something to that effect, but i closed it, because the video was playing. There is no sound.

I also tried playing it in a DIVX player and that did not work as well.

Any ideas?
