Aleratec's USB Copy Cruiser Plus does the data swaperoo

We're just never satisfied with where those gigabytes end up; as soon as they land on our
iPod we've got a media hankering for the
PSP, and that camera of ours seems to need a photo
dump at the lamest times. That's why we're liking the Aleratec USB Copy Cruiser Plus, with its three USB ports
including one mini, card reader capabilities, and a four line display for browsing the data of whichever devices are
hooked up, including invisible files on an iPod. It takes three AAA batteries, and automatically powers the iPod, which
could be a good or bad thing depending on the sitch. The reviewer at PSP Hacks found it to be a bit larger than he
expected, but it worked plenty fast for swapping files from his PSP, and if you're already carrying a few data munching
USB devices, what's one more?

Would have been good for transfering video to a PSP. However, whenever files are transfered it creates a folder called "backup", which is incompatible with the PSP file structure.
Alric: Homebrew file managers can fix that.
If you use the popular PSP homebrew program, FileAssistant, you can play the movies right out of their backup folder, or move them to the PSP movie folder.
rememeber to check grammar from time to time...
"it's" should be "its" up there
and giuppi, you should check your spelling. it's "remember" not "rememeber"
