FlashPoint USB memory sticks with computer-free data transfer

Xmultiple have created the FlashPoint memory stick which allows data transfer between sticks without the use of a computer. 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.

This is one of the best ideas I've ever heard. If I didn't already have a memory stick I'd get one tomorrow. I may just get one anyway.

P.S. Now all we need are digital cameras (and mobile phones) that have USB ports and people will be sharing their photos, etc. on the go effortlessly

Add interface and encryption and we can exchange digital cash.

Remove the flash memory from this, leave me with an interface with two ports, A and B, into which I can plug two different USB drives, and have the data copied from 'Share' on A to 'Share' on 'B'.

one question- does it just transfer all files, and if not, how can you choose with ones?

Put a memory stick contact instead of an USB and they will make a million on hdd PSP emulators.
