Swap data on the go with Memorex TravelLink and TravelSync

by Paul Miller, posted May 26th 2006 at 1:35PM

If you haven't sprung for a USB OTG device yet, or would like to do a bit of direct data slinging from device to device, the new TravelLink and TravelSync devices from Memorex should get the job done without breaking the bank. The $75 TravelLink has dual USB ports and an 8-in-1 flash card reader, and can swap data between any combination of its supported interfaces. There's a decent LCD to scroll through files, along with options to "copy all," "transfer all," and "delete all." The device can also function as a card reader for you PC using its included USB cable. The TravelSync device mirrors the functionality and LCD of its big brother, but does away with the card reader and costs $56. Both devices run on three AAA batteries, and should be available soon.

Any chance this could be used as a solution of PSP -> iPod (and iPod -> PSP)? If so... I'm in.

It probably wont work with Ipod because the ipod is not recognized as a USB Mass Storage Device.
I will buy one for sure, as I have a 160GB external and only 2 128MB Cards for my 5MP Coolpix P2.

It might actually work for the iPod to PSP. If you turn on the disk storage function on the iPod it does work as a mass storage device. Will have to try this out with my OTG device. If it works with that it should work with the Memorex transfer devices.

Although I remember reading a story about these Memorex devices a few months ago. The problem as I remember at the time was that they only support USB 1.1 so 12Mbps max not sure if this is still true though the story does not say anything about the speed.
