SwizzleStik: back that phone up

by Ryan Block, posted Nov 29th 2006 at 4:31AM

Yet another unannounced device tonight: Spark Technology's SwizzleStik (no c, damn you), a USB drive intended to make phone data management simple. We're assuming that's on the SIM end of things, but it's supposedly able to sync more than just your contacts, like your ringtones, music and photos. If this thing is just a microSD to USB adapter, we're gonna have to have a little talk with Spark.

If they made this work with the psp as a memory unit - since the PSP has a mini usb - it would be a success!

Sounds great, with all the info on my phone, backing it up is definitely worthwhile.

I got the impression that it 'synced' with your phone, so it wouldn't have anything to do with the SIM?

The swizzlestik is indeed more than just a USB-microSD adaptor. It operates as a thumbdrive for data storage as well, so you can not only back up contacts, but also swap ring tones, MP3s, games, files, photos, etc.

And yes, it'll come with more colors than just pink. :)
