Migo Transports Your Desktop and Outlook Settings via USB Drive or iPod

Here’s an interesting utility called Migo from Powerhouse Technologies Group that lets you take your browser bookmarks, Outlook settings, and more via a USB keychain drive or even your iPod (Windows users only) and then activate those settings down to your wallpaper on any other PC. The software takes up only 5MB of space, or roughly the size of one song, and you can try it out free here.

More about Migo: “Migo keeps your personal information and settings at your fingertips. Send and receive Outlook email from almost anywhere. Migo captures your desktop wallpaper and Internet favorites as well, so you will always have your personal look-and-feel wherever you go. Access your email, contacts, files, MP3 files, presentations and more — all on Migo.

“Migo is secure. Password protected to ensure security, Migo is yours alone, even if lost or stolen. Migo leaves no files behind, keeping your information secure, regardless of the system you’re using. And in the event that your system should ever crash, or your laptop is ever stolen, you always have your most critical information on Migo, wherever you go.”

With Google Desktop capable of reading info on public computers, I have to wonder if Migo can truly erase its tracks, but for $39.00 and perhaps going between your own office and home PC, this is a pretty interesting product. Only complaint: you have to buy their USB drive if you don’t want to use an iPod. Why not free it up to run on any portable device?
