Clickfree just kicked out a whole host of backup options at CES earlier this year, but it looks like it's already rolling out a few more additions, including the Clickfree Traveller automatic backup device and the Clickfree DVD Transformer. The former of those is a slim, credit card-sized hard drive available in sizes from 16GB to 64GB, which will automatically backup all your most important data as soon as you plug it into your Mac or PC. The DVD Transformer, on the other hand, works much like the company's Transformer Cable, but makes use of the DVD burner in your laptop or desktop for backups instead of a USB drive -- which, incidentally, can also function just fine without a $40 peripheral. It's available right now if you're in need of a little assistance though, as is the Clickfree Traveller, which'll set you back between $80 and $240.
wicked. credit card sized is nice. i want one :) how about that for the next recession give-away?
These are just rebranded PQI credit card sized USB devices.

I'm pretty sure these are just PQI's, running software like those (U3) compatible thumbdrives...
BTW, I'm only making a point of this because they've existed for a couple of YEARS now...
yeah...wtf engadget, I thought it was cool when I got one a couple of years back, now its laying in a pile of usb-storage-device-I-thought-were-cool-and-probably-will-never-use
The difference is the Clickfree Traveler includes proprietary auto-launching software that automates the backup process. It's not a tedious drag and drop solution, and these are not just flattened out dumb thumb drives.

So, this is an old product? cool. That's makes it RETRO!
Robots in disguise...
I guess it's perfect for QVC shoppers.
