When I first found Ceedo, I nearly made a quick impulse buy, I was so impressed. But I am very glad I did not at this point. I'm happy to explain why, in hopes it may change because overall Ceedo has huge potential.
1) It's the (crappy) economy, stupid! hehe $30 bucks was OK but then once I found out another $40 to make it full-featured, forget it. Thats a deal KILLER! Yes, it does more than U3 (mostly just Argo), but U3 was FREE on my drive, so I`ll pay up $30 to Argo but thats it. Backup, as mentioned elsewhere, should be a very basic necessity included.
2) Especially since Firefox is broke (connection errors) and Roboform "approved" version isn't available. (my 2 most used apps of course)
3) No password? It's a PORTABLE device with no password. That's just really DUMB! Oh, ok, I can pay $20 for it later? LOL
Well there is my 2cents. I`ll keep an eye on Ceedo, but for now it's No-do :)

I just thought I should add, that I am no happier with U3 either. It needs tons more work than Ceedo IMHO and I like Ceedo better on a more fundmental level with how it works. If I didn't like Ceedo, I would simply move on and not waste my time leaving a message. But it doesn't change the fact that I would like Ceedo to improve, not only in function but price. I`ve read you saying "well, it's cheap if you buy such and such drive ..." but look,my drive receipt is long gone! I'm stuck with my Sandisk, which I bought before I ever knew a thing called Ceedo or U3 even existed.
