USB memories have won support for their combination of capacity, ease-of-use and pocketable portability.
The U3 platform extends that versatility by supporting storage not only of data but of applications and personal computer settings, plus security features.
Once configured to suit a user's preferences, a USB memory supporting U3 can be used in any PC with a USB slot, delivering the user's familiar computing environment and support for such applications as e-mail and web surfing, and access to files stored in the USB memory.
When the user removes the U3 USB memory, all traces of the memory's presence is also removed.

U-Safe, password-based security protection software is also built into Launchpad and can be activated at the user's discretion.
Other application programs can be downloaded from the U3 site.
