The FlashPoint USB flash drive has such a simple trick it’s surprising nobody else has gotten to it first. In addition to being a Mass Storage Device, it also has a female USB port on its backside that accepts other flash drives. Just push the nondescript button on the top and the FlashPoint uses its internal battery to power a file transfer—whatever you’ve put inside a special directory called ‘Share’ gets copied over to the mated flash drive (as long as it has enough space, one would think).
Simple and smart—it’s a great idea. If you can forgive the go-to gadget reference, can you imagine how rad it would be if iPods had this capability? I wouldn’t be surprised to see this feature creep up on more and more flash drives in the near future.
A 512MB version is available on the Starburst website for $96.
