TransferJet for iOS
Toshiba has introduced a TransferJet adapter
for iPhones, iPads and iPods. TransferJet is a
close proximity wireless transfer technology
offering simple connections and ultra-high-
speed data transfer between devices. Toshiba
says that with TransferJet 100 MBytes of data
can be transmitted in just three seconds.
To use TransferJet, users need to connect the
adapter to an iPhone, iPad or iPod Lightning
connector and use the associated app to select
the data file to be transferred. All they then have
to do is touch their device against a receiving
device also fitted with a TransferJet adapter.
In addition to its iOS adapter, Toshiba has
launched a second generation USB adapter for
Windows and a MicroUSB adapter for Android,
offering a 1.7 times faster transfer rate and 30%
lower power consumption than previous models.
