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.
