Connect Digital Camera To Storage Device Via USB Bridge
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "HARDWARE" @ 07:00 AM
"Delkin Devices Inc., maker of premium quality eFilm memory cards and other innovative products, announces a revolutionary new device that connects two USB devices together without a computer. The USB Bridge fits easily in the palm of one’s hand, and enables users to copy files by attaching a digital camera directly to a variety of peripherals such as an iPod (and other MP3 players), USB Flash “Thumb Drives”, external hard drives, CD-R burners and memory card readers. It links your camera to a wide variety of USB mass storage devices without having to remove the memory card. The Bridge works with all the top camera brands including Canon, Fuji, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus and Sony. Delkin designed the Bridge for the traveling photographer who prefers the convenience of leaving their laptop at home but still needs a solution for storing and transferring files on the fly."
However, the applications of this bridge are not limited to digital cameras alone. You will be able to transfer files between two USB Flash "Thumb Drives", or from a USB storage device to an iPod and/or other USB MP3 players, or even from one memory card reader to another. I think this is an excellent idea and am actually surprised that it took so long for something like this to be announced. The USB Bridge is available now from Delkin's site for as little as $69.99.
