Sima's Hitch allows USB devices to share files
Transferring digital files between disparate hardware no longer has to be such a chore thanks to a new Mass Storage- and Picture Transfer Protocol-compliant offering from Sima Products called Hitch (model USB-101), which lets you connect nearly any digital camera, DAP, PMP, or flash drive with a USB connection and send single files or entire albums to a like device. Once both products are hooked up, you simply need to choose what you want to send and where you want it to go using Hitch's 2.5-inch backlit black and white screen, and your digital swag starts zipping between devices at USB 2.0 speeds (or USB 1.1, if your gear is a bit pokier). You'll be able to pick one of these up -- DRM-compliance and all -- later this month for about $150.

Surely this is just another way to break the law by sharing copyrighted music. the goodie two shoes people are going to be "so pleased."
also... can you get black iPod Cables?

Pretty cool. I wonder if this will support PSP transfers so you can store scores of movies on your 60GB Ipod and watch them on your nice Big Screen'ed PSP

150 bucks?? my 3 year old iriver lets you plug usb devices straight into it, why bother with an extra (expensive) gadget?
