Feed Engadget: Verbatim acquires SmartDisk's external HDD, digital imaging assets (engadget.com)
Filed under: Storage
It's been quite awhile since we've seen anything substantial emerge from SmartDisk, and it looks like the last time may actually have been the last. Verbatim and its parent company, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (MKM), have purchased "substantially all of the assets of SmartDisk's external hard drive and digital imaging business." The acquisition essentially includes everything (right down to patents and engineering expertise) in those two divisions, which should compliment Verbatim's well recognized data storage lineup nicely. Although the purchase price wasn't revealed -- nor were details about how the branding would work out in future product releases -- the two have indeed official shook hands and the exchange of assets is well underway.[Via PCWorld]
