Keychain-size thumb drives are getting even more versatile. Next week a new Mountain View-based company called Cirago is set to introduce a 128-megabyte USB drive that plays music, records audio and stores files, for $130. The device runs on a single AAA battery. The drive, called the WeWa Marvel MP3 player, can hold about 32 MP3 files encoded at near-CD quality, which is just over 2 hours of music. Voice recording does not require such large files, so the device can hold up to 10 hours of spoken audio. Information can be found at
