Centon Electronics Launching Major League Baseball Licensed USB Keychain Flash Drives

Centon Electronic Incorporated, another manufacturer and designer of DRAM and Flash-based memory products, just announced its release of the officially licensed MLAB Key chain USB Flash Drives. The above named maker is authorized by Major League Baseball Properties to release the officially licensed Key chain USB drives that feature the logos of all 30 Major League Baseball teams.

Having an officially licensed MLB USB Flash drive is just another way of showing your fan support, but in a more fun and unique way than the regular t-shirts, caps and others alike. Come to think about it, this is even a useful thing, considering that you can store, share and transfer data with your friends, or just your own – from school to home and vice versa, for example. Adding the reliability and the compact form factor to all of the above makes the MLB Key chain USB flash drives an easy and convenient way to keep important files with you on the go.

“We’re always looking for new ways to allow our fans to express their devotion to their team and to Major League Baseball,” said Howard Smith, Senior Vice President, Licensing, Major League Baseball. “Our fans also are very quick to embrace technology, so we’re happy to partner with Centon to offer these exciting products that will enhance our fans’ connection to the game.”
