What
is FlashPoint ShareCard?
Flash
cards are portable data storage used in a variety
of electronic products from computers, digital
cameras, PDAs, Televisions and more.
Xmultiple
has invented the FlashPoint ShareCard to provide
users of flash cards a means to copy data away
from a computer.
The
FlashPoint ShareCard (thumbdrive size) has a
built-in flash card reader connector. FlashPoint
has multiple versions with single and multiple
flash card readers.. A user can insert a flash
card and copy from the flash card to the flash
memory chip in the FlashPoint. This means if
you have a flash card in a digital camera and
you meet a friend for lunch. You can take the
flash card out of the camera hand it to the
friend who has a FlashPoint ShareCard and have
them copy the pictures from the flash card to
your FlashPoint ShareCard.....all away from
a computer.
This patent pending technology also effects
the flash card multiple reader units.....often
called x-to-1, such as the 6-to-1, 9-to-1 and
the newest 12-to-1 units. These devices read
multiple flash cards and can be attached to
computers. Xmultiple now provides the capablilty
to read the flash card in these devices directly
to a integrated flash memory chip. The FlashPoint
ShareCard is built into these units.........so
you can insert multiple flash cards and copy
them into this type of product.
This
FlashPoint ShareCard Product has not been released
and the first production units are scheduled
to be shipped in July 2005.
This FlashPoint ShareDrive and ShareCard use

Why
would I need a USB FlashPoint ShareCard?
USB
flash drives and flash memory cards have become
extremely popular over recent months. This is
because they have become very inexpensive, can
both store large quantities of data and are
an ideal way of copying data from one computer
to another. FlashPoint ShareCards add one more
important element to flash drives devices by
integrating the Sharing-On-The-Go technology
chip to provide copy capability between flash
drives when a user is mobile. ShareCards provide
the copy capabilty from flash card to flash
drive when a user is mobile.
Previous
to FlashPoint ShareCards devices you could never
see two people outdoors exchange data and MP3
files while riding skateboards. Go to your kids
baseball game and have a friend at the game
give you photo's of the game. Your friend has
the digital camera but you both have the pictures
instantly. No more waiting for a friend, family
member or business associate to burn you a copy
of pictures, software or other data on their
CD burner. Just plug a thumbdrive into a FlashPoint
ShareCard and you have the data you want. With
the ShareCard just plug a flash card into the
ShareDrive and you have the data you want. FlashPoint
ShareCards are light weight, and small and will
fit into a keyring which makes them the ideal
media to carry around. They resist temperature
changes, magnetic fields and bumps and knocks
(they are solid state) and are the ideal portable
storage media. With FlashPoint ShareCards you
have the ideal way to exchange information when
you are not near a computer. Copying with mobility
is now here and it will change how we look at
computing.
