I like crossover gadgets – those that are able to bridge one or two uses, and make a good fist of it at the same time – that’s why I was really interested to see the Elan System Mobidapter, being retailed by eXpansys.
The device works like a vampire USB stick, sucking the files off your device – now if you were wondering where it plugs in, that would be on the SD-based memory port that your device needs to have. It’s pictured here working with MicroSD, but I’m assured with adaptors it can cover the other SD variants too.
Fascinatingly, the onboard intelligence allows you to transfer files to and from your device, with the device thinking the Mobidapter is a SD card, whilst in fact it’s just bridging to a USB pen drive – frighteningly simple, desvastatingly clever.
Of course there are some limitations about the positioning of your SD card variant port, and also the fact you’ve actually even got one of those ports on your device – but an increasing number are coming with them now, as it’s getting to be kinda standard.
Overall, nice job I think – some of the best ideas are the simple ones!
