Expand your market. Get a jump up on the competition.

Success is the right combination of a great idea and good timing. So, get cracking on the ideas, because now is the right time to gain access to millions of new customers by making your application U3 smart.

Smart drives are the hot new technology. They are special flash drives that can carry and launch their own applications, and they’re changing the way people use computers. In fact, analysts project sales of USB flash drives to grow to 150 million units worldwide by 2008 — and 70 percent of those are projected to be smart drives.

That’s a lot of smart drives! And they all translate to a growing demand for portable applications. Get a jump on the competition. Set yourself up for success. See how fast and easy it is to repackage your application for the U3 platform. Download our FREE U3 Deployment Kit- UPDATED January 2007 now.

Also available is the U3 Package Prototyper so you can immediately evaluate the user experience of having an application run from a U3 smart device and under the management of the U3 Launchpad.

Making your application U3 smart is fast and easy.

More repackaging than redesigning, making your app U3 smart takes little effort, and is more than worth the investment. Most developers complete a working prototype quickly — in a matter of weeks, not months. (See how Typing Master Inc. became U3 smart in just two days.)

What is a U3 smart solution?

A U3 smart solution is one that travels with the user on a U3 smart USB flash drive. Once installed on the drive, the application can run on any computer—without further installation!

U3 smart applications run on all U3-compliant devices from dozens of the largest USB flash drive manufacturers, including SanDisk, Memorex, Kingston and Verbatim. Almost any Windows 2000 or Windows XP application can be made U3 smart. Current U3 smart applications include:

Anti-phishing Anti-spyware Anti-virus Backup Chat Data and file synchronization Education

Email Games Graphics applications Internet browsers Internet telephony Music players Password managers

Personal preference utilities Personal productivity solutions Photo organizers Security (encryption) Video players
