Technology startup U3 on Monday is expected to announce the availability of USB drives based on its smart computing platform, which allows applications to run directly off USB drives, independent of other storage devices. Smart USB drives based on U3's software and hardware platform will allow users to carry their entire PC in a USB drive, so that when they hook up to a PC on the road, it will have the same look and feel as their work or home PC. USB smart drives are expected to be announced by hardware vendors including SanDisk and Verbatim at Demofall, which will be held in Huntington Beach, California, from Sept. 19 to Sept. 21.
