Source Next takes USB Memory Software Package from CD-ROM


Packaged Software supplier Source Next will start selling their "USB Memory package" application from September 5th, 2008.

Under the "U memo series" brand, they will sell their anti-virus software, cell phone data sync tool, greeting cards utility, etc. in 1MB USB memory. The memory can be used as a regular USB memory.

It is explained that this move is needed because more note PC and UMPC(Ultra Mobile PC) are shipped without optical drive recently. On their plan, all packages will be provided only in USB memory version in future.
