The USB2USB Lets You Share Media Between Drives Without a Computer

— January 10, 2013 — Art & Design
How incredibly convenient would it be to have a USB2USB device handy, allowing you to copy files from one compact storage accessory to another. A task that would usually require the use of a computer as an intermediary for the exchange is favorably removed from the equation.

With a thickness of just 3 millimeters, the handy gadget can fit easily into your computer bag, your pocket and even into your wallet. It's equipped with a generous touchscreen that displays the media stored on your SD cards, your external hard drives and your flash drives so that you have total control over which items get transferred from one to the other.

Winner of a Red Dot Award and made for MIMOS Berhad, the USB2USB even boasts cordless technology and can be charged up via one of its USB arms.
Trend Themes
1. Portable File Transfer Devices - The trend towards more compact and portable file transfer devices continues, with opportunities for companies to create even smaller and more convenient gadgets.
2. Direct Device-to-device Data Transfer - As the USB2USB demonstrates, direct data transfer between devices is becoming more common and could disrupt the need for computers as intermediaries in file sharing.
3. Touchscreen Technology in Data Transfer - File transfer devices like the USB2USB are incorporating touchscreen technology for easier and more intuitive control of data transfer, suggesting opportunities for further innovation in this area.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - As the market for portable file transfer devices grows, consumer electronics companies have the opportunity to develop more streamlined and user-friendly products.
2. Information Technology - IT companies can benefit from disruptive innovation in direct device-to-device data transfer, potentially creating new solutions that eliminate the need for traditional file sharing methods.
3. Digital Storage - The trend towards more convenient and direct file transfer creates opportunities for innovation in digital storage, such as developing new types of portable storage accessories that can easily interface with other devices.
