"It is very easy to use: just plug it into your PC or Mac like a flash drive. It comes with a program version for both, which turned out to be useful since I have a PC and my husband has a Mac.

What's great about it? It's size, weight, and look (my friends think it's super cool!). Oh, and the price. …" Read Full Review »
