Verbatim (http://www.verbatim.com) has released the Store ‘n’ Go SuperSpeed USB 3.0 compact portable hard drive. It will be available in 500GB and 750GB versions this month, and in a 1TB in November.

The Store ‘n’ Go SuperSpeed USB 3.0 will, alas, only run at USB 2.0 speeds on Macs. Apple computers don’t yet offer support for USB 3.0.

Available in a piano-black finish, the Verbatim unit includes Nero BackItUp & Burn software for Windows, a free trial of Norton Online Backup (5GB) and a seven-year limited warranty. Pricing hasn’t been announced.

AquaFold has released Aqua Data Studio 9.0 (http://www.aquafold.com), an upgrade to its universal database query and administration software designed to make it simple to visualize and manipulate multiple relational databases from within a single interface.

PCI Geomatics will announce the launch of its GeoImaging Accelerator Aerial (GXL-A) software at the Intergeo 2010 Conference this Oct. 5-7 in Cologne, Germany. This follows an earlier announcement in March when Microsoft’s Photogrammetry division, Vexcel Imaging GmbH, agreed to partner with PCI to produce an image processing system specifically for Vexcel Imaging’s UltraCam aerial cameras and UltraMap photogrammetric software.
 

Kaiju Software has announced the public beta launch of Ehon 1.0 (http://www.ehonapp.com) for Mac OS X (10.6.4 or higher). It’s a Mac-only digital comic book, manga and ebook management program.

Ehon is designed to simplify digital library management. Users can import all of their digital comics and ebooks and let Ehon do all the work. The app will import all of the major ebook and  comic file formats, as long as they’re not DRM protected, including epub, PDF, CBR/RAR, CBZ/ZIP and even image folders.
