What
is FlashPoint ShareCard?
Flash
cards are portable data storage used in a variety
of electronic products from computers, digital
cameras, PDAs, Televisions and more.
Xmultiple
has invented the FlashPoint ShareCard to provide
users of flash cards a means to copy data away
from a computer.
The
FlashPoint ShareDrive (thumbdrive size) has
a built-in flash card reader connector . FlashPoint
has multiple versions with single and multiple
flash card readers.. A user can insert a flash
card and copy from the flash card to the flash
memory chip in the FlashPoint. This means if
you have a flash card in a digital camera and
you meet a friend for lunch. You can take the
flash card out of the camera hand it to the
friend who has a FlashPoint ShareDrive and have
them copy the pictures from the flash card to
your FlashPoint ShareDrive.....all away from
a computer.
This patent pending technology also effects
the flash card multiple reader units.....often
called x-to-1, such as the 6-to-1, 9-to-1 and
the newest 12-to-1 units. These devices read
multiple flash cards and can be attached to
computers. Xmultiple now provides the capablilty
to read the flash card in these devices directly
to a integrated flash memory chip. The FlashPoint
ShareDrive is built into these units.........so
you can insert multiple flash cards and copy
them into this type of product.
This
FlashPoint ShareCard Product has not been released
and the first production units are scheduled
to be shipped in July 2005.
This FlashPoint ShareDrive and ShareCard use
our "Sharing On-The-Go technology (SOTG).

Why
would I need a USB FlashPoint ShareDrive/ShareCard?
USB
flash drives and flash memory cards have become
extremely popular over recent months. This is
because they have become very inexpensive, can
both store large quantities of data and are
an ideal way of copying data from one computer
to another. FlashPoint ShareDrives/ShareCards

devices by integrating the Sharing-On-The-Go
technology chip to provide copy capability between
flash drives when a user is mobile. ShareCards
provide the copy capabilty from flash card to

Previous
to FlashPoint ShareDrives/ShareCards devices
you could never see two people outdoors exchange
data and MP3 files while riding skateboards.
Go to your kids baseball game and have a friend
at the game give you photo's of the game. Your
friend has the digital camera but you both have
the pictures instantly. No more waiting for
a friend, family member or business associate
to burn you a copy of pictures, software or
other data on their CD burner. Just plug a thumbdrive
into a FlashPoint ShareDrive and you have the
data you want. With the ShareCard just plug
a flash card into the ShareDrive and you have
the data you want. FlashPoint ShareDrives/ShareCards
are light weight, and small and will fit into
a keyring which makes them the ideal media to
carry around. They resist temperature changes,
magnetic fields and bumps and knocks (they are
solid state) and are the ideal portable storage
media. With FlashPoint ShareDrives/ShareCards
you have the ideal way to exchange information
when you are not near a computer. Copying with
mobility is now here and it will change how
we look at computing.
