The BioCert ClipBio Pro has received substantial press and was a featured tool in the home office of the "House of Innovations" by Popular Science and Sunset Magazine and most recently featured in a CNN Technology Show-And-Tell PodCast with tech reporter Ali Velshi on November 28th, 2006. "The response to this product has been truly amazing. Once people realize the full value proposition of the ClipBio Pro and the accompanying software suite to protect the host PC and the portable data, it really is a simple buying decision. Now with the lower price of under $70, I can't imagine why every traveler with portable data wouldn't want to own one. This truly is a powerful solution to a very real world problem." Says Stephen Clayton, Director of Technology for ASG.
