Webaroo for U3, Soon!

Techtree News Staff, Oct 15, 2006 1100 hrs IST

U3 has announced that Webaroo will soon release "Webaroo for U3", a portable version of Webaroo designed specifically to launch and run from a U3 smart drive.

U3, creator of the U3 smart drive computing platform, has announced that Webaroo will soon release "Webaroo for U3", a portable version of Webaroo designed specifically to launch and run from a U3 smart drive.

The company says that "Webaroo for U3" allows a person to integrate the Web on a U3 smart drive without an Internet connection, providing access to volumes of Web content on-the-go.

U3 smart drives let people carry not only files but also a wide range of Windows software applications, and their associated desktop preferences and settings, all for use on any PC. Consumers can simply plug a U3 smart drive into the USB port of any PC, running Windows 2000 or XP and can access their personal files and launch software directly from the drive, regardless of what is installed on the host PC.

And once they unplug the U3 smart drive, they take their personal information with them and the host PC returns to normal.

Reportedly, Webaroo for U3 will let people cache and carry slices of the Web on a U3 smart drive. With plug-and-play simplicity and the attendant personalization and security features of U3 smart drives, Webaroo users can access their selected Web content wherever they are, without having to install any software or transfer any files. They simply plug their U3 smart drive into the USB port of any PC and access their own Web content.

Speaking on the occasion, Kate Purmal, chief executive officer, U3, said, "With Webaroo's software for U3 smart drives, consumers will soon select and store a wide variety of information they glean from the Web and access it on any PC even when they don't have an Internet connection. Webaroo and U3 have harnessed the mobile Web in a highly secure, personalized, and portable form."

Adding to it, Rakesh Mathur, chief executive officer, Webaroo, explained, "Webaroo's mission is to provide people with Web answers and information and entertainment when they don't have a connection, which until now has been impossible. "U3's smart drive computing platform furthers this quest to its fullest potential because now people can transport their private version of the Web within a self-sufficient device smaller than a pack of gum, providing our users the height of speed, security, and convenience while browsing their Web on-the-go."
