World CAD Access by Ralph Grabowski
"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.
