Lets hope 'zune' and the g6 ipod have taken note.]]>Jul 23rd 2006 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/21/sima-products-hitch-usb-transfer-device-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/21/sima-products-hitch-usb-transfer-device-reviewed/
Really, as far as it goes, for data transfer between usb devices, I think carrying an ultracompact laptop would be much more practical. I can not think of a situation where I'd want to transfer data that there is a plugin around. It's a nice idea, but there are too many Cons.... Size (although an ultracompact laptop is not smaller), For large data transfers it requires a plugin (What if im on a bus and I hear someone listening to an album I want... hey, can I have that album please... Lemme go find a plugin and i'll be right with you), and it'll likely run into problems with many devices. There are so many different standards when it comes to portable data storage that it's unlikely that it'll work with EVERYTHING.]]>Jul 23rd 2006 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/21/sima-products-hitch-usb-transfer-device-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/21/sima-products-hitch-usb-transfer-device-reviewed/
The draw here is iPod to iPod transfers - you can send a song and listen to it immediately. There's no other way to do that without being tethered to a PC.
