Their new SharePlayer not
only pumps out compressed audio but also features Xmultiple's
Sharing-On-The-Go firmware allowing you to download files
directly from another USB MP3 player by simply "attaching
the devices and pressing a button" — no need
for a pesky PC in the middle or electrical outlet son,
thems for fools dig? And that good SOTG works just as
well for downloading photographs or data from your USB
equipped digicam or cellphone. We're not clear if they
still require data to be stored in the "load"
directory for all this "computerless" download
lovin' but there's no denying SOTG's (aka, USB On-The-Go)
potential convenience

Why ShareDrives Mobile
Strategy
The ability to copy files
and folders while away from the office computer is a growing
requirement of modern business. Businesses who want to
be competitive cannot ignore the fact that we live in
an expanding mobile world. The mobile requirement encompasses
all levels of management and personnel from the President
of a company to a sales person who is calling on potential
customers daily. CEOs and company management are using,
in abundance, portable devices such as laptop computers
and personal digital assistants (PDAs). This portability
is now extending to ShareDrives and Sharing-On-The–Go
technology built into products such as cellphones, PDAs
and digital camera. FlashPoint ShareDrives are changing
the way people work by providing a means to move data
without electrical outlets, computers or laptops.

Xmultiple
has developed a new and patent-pending technology
called SharePlayer.
The technology provides you with the freedom
to transfer files between flash drives, 'Sharing-On-The-
Go' (SOTG), without the need of a laptop computer or
cumbersome USB bridges.

We’re noticing a growing
trend where the computer is slowly being pulled out of
the equation or at least made optional when it comes to
communication between various devices. Digital cameras
can print without touching a PC, and this past week, we
covered the SD card to SD card copier, and today, the
ShareDrive allows you to share files between USB devices
without a PC.

Looks sorta like an iPod Shuffle, but it's a USB flash
drive with a female USB connector on one end. You can
use this device to copy the contents of other USB flash
drives. No computer needed.

type of USB thumb drive that allows users to copy
data stored in the ShareDrive flash memory to
another flash drive or a USB device such as an MP3
player or digial camera WITHOUT a computer. The
new ShareDrives have an integrated

another device into the same USB port in which the
ShareDrive is attached, chaining devices.
Computerless copying to another sharedrive is
compelling functionality

CAD Access by Ralph Grabowski
"One
barrier to eliminating the computer from digital photography
is USB. It was designed under the assumption that the
computer is the host, and that all other devices plug
into the computer.BlueTooth, on the other hand, was exactly
designed for communication between any two devices. Problem,
though, is that BlueTooth is rare and is v-e-r-y slow,
expecially when dealing with the huge files created by
digital camera photographs and movies. Xmultiple has designed
a new technology called ShareDrive, this technology will
allow for users to send data from one FlashPoint device
to another ShareDrive device, or to any flash memory-based
drive currently on the market. With both male and female
USB connectors, you simply connect any old flash memory
keychain, press the transfer button, and your files get
sent over to the other device."

"Plug
one drive into the other, hit a button, and you can copy
files from one drive to the other. The drive copies only
files stored in the /share directory, and it does not
sync files between drives."

"Now
this is nifty, which has us wondering why we're still
using conventional USB flash drives in Singapore. Xmultiple's
USB ShareDrive completely does away with the PC or laptop,
and mates with another ShareDrive to transfer files in
secs. A tiny integrated battery powers the transfer while
a female connector on the backside lets you plug in another
device which it'll recognize. The catch: It'll copy only
files stored in the Share directory, and won't sync data
between drives. To recharge the batt, simply plug into
a standard USB computer port."

"Say
you’re a, erm, how to put this, proactive businessman
with some important files on your Flash card. Say, then,
you want to give those important files to a type-B assistant.
Normally, you would have to get to a computer or laptop,
transfer the files to the hard drive, and then transfer
them again to the other stick. With the ShareDrive, you
simply mate the two devices and let the transfer love
begin. Cue up some Barry White, baby, and you’ve
got a computer-free transfer goin’ on. Awww, yeah."

"Current
flash memory devices on the market sadly have no way of
transferring files to you, this would only work for sending

you can exchange files both ways.."

Review -
Have
you ever wondered how to get those MP3 files to your car
and download them without a computer. We have a unique
solution to this problem with our new ShareDrive USB Pen
Drive.
This
new technology is embedded into the USB memory pen drive,
which is powered by a small battery, giving the USB Memory
Pen Drive the ability to down load and up load data files
between a ShareDrive Pen Drive and another USB Memory
Pen Drive or the ShareDrive Memory Pen Drive and any other
memory peripheral (computer, MP3 player, digital radio,
etc.). This new technology gives the user the freedom
to transfer files on the “go” without the need
to have a laptop computer or cumbersome USB hubs to be
able to exchange data between memory devices.
