"One
barrier to eliminating the computer from digital
photography is USB. It was designed under the assumption
that the computer is the host, and that all other
devices plug into the computer.BlueTooth, on the
other hand, was exactly designed for communication
between any two devices. Problem, though, is that
BlueTooth is rare and is v-e-r-y slow, expecially
when dealing with the huge files created by digital
camera photographs and movies. Xmultiple has designed
a new technology called FlashPoint, this technology
will allow for users to send data from one FlashPoint
device to another FlashPoint device, or to any flash
memory-based drive currently on the market. With
both male and female USB connectors, you simply
connect any old flash memory keychain, press the
transfer button, and your files get sent over to
the other device."

"Plug
one drive into the other, hit a button, and you
can copy files from one drive to the other. The
drive copies only files stored in the /share directory,
and it does not sync files between drives."

"Now
this is nifty, which has us wondering why we're
still using conventional USB flash drives in Singapore.
Xmultiple's USB FlashPoint completely does away
with the PC or laptop, and mates with another FlashPoint
to transfer files in secs. A tiny integrated battery
powers the transfer while a female connector on
the backside lets you plug in another device which
it'll recognize. The catch: It'll copy only files
stored in the Share directory, and won't sync data
between drives. To recharge the batt, simply plug
into a standard USB computer port."

"Say
you’re a, erm, how to put this, proactive businessman
with some important files on your Flash card. Say,
then, you want to give those important files to
a type-B assistant. Normally, you would have to
get to a computer or laptop, transfer the files
to the hard drive, and then transfer them again
to the other stick. With the FlashPoint, you simply
mate the two devices and let the transfer love begin.
Cue up some Barry White, baby, and you’ve got
a computer-free transfer goin’ on. Awww, yeah."

"Current
flash memory devices on the market sadly have no
way of transferring files to you, this would only
work for sending files, unless another FlashPoint
device is present, then you can exchange files both
ways.."

MacMegaSite Review -
Have you ever wondered how to get those MP3 files
to your car and download them without a computer.
We have a unique solution to this problem with our
new FlashPoint USB Pen Drive.
This new technology is embedded into the USB memory
pen drive, which is powered by a small battery,
giving the USB Memory Pen Drive the ability to down
load and up load data files between a FlashPoint
Pen Drive and another USB Memory Pen Drive or the
FlashPoint Memory Pen Drive and any other memory
peripheral (computer, MP3 player, digital radio,
etc.). This new technology gives the user the freedom
to transfer files on the “go” without
the need to have a laptop computer or cumbersome
USB hubs to be able to exchange data between memory
devices.
