Ive been really into portable apps for a few years...
And, being the true geek that i am... i'm always searching for a smaller, niftier USB flash drive to hold them all in.
Now. Ive recently noticed the sony microvault tiny...
Looks good. looks small.. but sony have done something to it to enable it to compress or encrypt data and allow it to store 3 times as much..
Will this affect portable apps? and if so, how??
any ideas would be very much appreciated
Many thanks
John

It's considered impolite to make a thread about something and not provide a link unless it's something on which others will likely have some background information.

there is one. I have however seen the drive in numerous magazines (including OPSM).

well anything thats compressed has to be decompressed guess were? in RAM so if u use a sony micro then it might save space but just use more ram in the long run
with there pcs check it out here for example the apps that are compressed with UPX save space but the decompression stub decompresses the compressed info in ram same with sonys micro 
I saw one at target and was tempted, but i dont trust sony anymore after i heard what they did with there DRM

It's just a compression/encryption program. Nothing special. I would be careful of compression algorithms that claim it can compress files down to 1/x the size. A better one has comparisons for different file types against other algorithms. File type will determine compression ratio more than the algorithm.
