Android accounts for one-quarter of mobile web traffic
Android is mopping up Apple and RIM's declining mobile mindshare in the US, you'll find nothing but corroboration from Quantcast. The analytics firm reckons a full one-quarter of mobile web traffic stateside comes from devices running Google's OS

Although this seems like a gimmick, there may certainly be ways that such a Turbo could increase performance over USB2. As we all know, there's pretty much no device that can saturate the (theoretical) maximum bandwidth of 480mbit/sec and, due to CPU overheads coming from the fact that, unlike 1394, USB2 is not a direct peer-peer connection so it's real-world speeds are actually worse than 1394. Any device that claims to increase the performance of USB2 is a step forward in my book!
Perhaps this device's chipset is optimized to synchronize the cluster read/writes off the HDD with the data block transmission through USB. Perhaps they've found a way to optimize overhead data and processing. Who knows...
A problem, however, that may exist is data corruption stemming from the additional optimization to boost speed. Hopefully this unit has top-notch error correction algorithms!
