On October 4, Transcend's biometric flash drive, the JetFlash 220, was shown on the "breaking news" edition of USTV, Taiwan. The JetFlash 220 made its appearance during a segment of "3C Products with Fingerprint Technology," where Transcend's vice president of sales and marketing, Steve Chang, was interviewed to talk about the current trends in fingerprint technology. Transcend's JetFlash 220 was introduced as "a high-capacity storage device that allows access only through biometric fingerprint recognition…It is recommended for storing and securing personal information to prevent stolen data." Mr. Chang further stated that consumer demand for flash drives with fingerprint recognition is growing, and that Transcend's is currently shipping 4 to 5 times more of these types of drives than it did last year.

A worthy successor of Transcend's popular JetFlash 210, the new JetFlash 220 combines elegance and functionality with an attractive rotating cover that will never get lost. Transcend's JetFlash 220 has a unique sensor strip, which allows users to access protected data by simply scanning their fingerprint. Last month, the JetFlash 220 was featured on ABC-7 New York Eyewitness News and was recommended by a personal safety expert for storing and securing important data. Aside from its high-tech biometric technology, the JetFlash 220 also looks good with a streamlined design and attractive colors. It is currently available in 8GB (Ruby Red), 4GB (Royal Blue), and 2GB (Sunburst Orange) capacities. For more information, please visit www.Transcendusa.com
