My Quite good idea with USB Flash Drive / USB Key

Hello people I just was wondering that there are plenty flash drives been produced on this planet as USB 2.0 standard connector ..
BUT
i really would welcome Flash Dive WITH A MICRO USB CONNECTOR
that could be awesome n?
very small handy compact ...
did anyone see this flash drive somewhere on internet??

 

Then you would need to also carry micro-usb to normal usb adapter with you.

 

Very few devices that have a female USB Micro or Mini port can act as USB hosts, which means that you'd have to have an adapter for any use with a computer and it'd never work with a phone or other device.

 

This.

+rep.

 

man looks like you ancient or you need update

take a look of picture and then you will get what I want ... [/QUOTE]

Just eliminate cable adapter and tell the flash disk makers to start producing flash keys with micro usb ... got it ?

 

soo i think is -Rep dont u think?

 

Pitabred's point is still valid.

How many phones allow you to use this kind of cable to transfer files? The phone you are showing has file browser capabilities.

What other smartphone OS'es allow this? Apple iOS does not have this capability natively. Android devices do not natively have this capability.

If I were to create a micro USB flash drive, I would need to:
1) Create the micro USB flash drive.
2) Include a micro USB to regular USB adapter.
3) Include software for Apple iOS, Android OS, etc to allow file browsing capabilities.

And even then, how many devices would I sell? How many people out there even care about this ability, or would buy my device? What does my micro USB flash drive do for people that they can't already do today with regular USB drives + adapter cables?

Even with my Nexus One, the Google developer phone, I don't have USB host capabilities without hacking the code. There are no Blackberries that will work as USB hosts. No Apple phones, as kent1146 said.

If there's a nearly non-existent market for USB drives with those connectors, there's no economic reason to create them.

 

No. Pita and kent are quite correct. There's no business case to be had for what you want to do, unless you're a venture capitalist who would want to throw good money after bad. In which case that wouldn't make you much of a venture capitalist now, wouldn't it?

 

+rep to you

Anyway, it would be easy and cheap to do, it there was a reason to do it. Maybe someday when more phones become as nice as yours.

 

Windows Mobile. For years.

Support just isn't usually natively included but since WinMo is made to be modded, you can add the necessary drivers in firmware yourself.

 

A TransFlash card is like the smallest flash drive and most phones have a slot where you can click the card in and out. Your whole idea is probably great for your phone, but since the transfer speed is the same it will be named an adapter to your phone.

Ok. Anyone who still uses Windows Mobile 6.x or earlier has no place in a discussion about smartphones. No company in their right mind will ever make a product targeted for the 8 people still stuck using Windows Mobile 6.x or earlier.

And my point earlier was that any flash drive that requires you to mod your phone or install 3rd party software isn't going to sell. If it doesn't work when you plug it in, nobody will buy it.

 

Yep. Since there is no drives/adapters available, no manufacturer will incorporate support either since it takes valuable storage space from internal memory.

 

but those drivers and adapters will be available by those makers logically
if makers want to produce device they are realised and they know very clearly that they need to make driver and software with the device
that's the standard thing : device + driver + software

 

A miniSD / microSD card is device, no driver, no software. Just put the card into any phone with a miniSD / microSD card, and it works.

Why would I buy a 16GB microUSB flash stick, when I can just buy a 16GB miniSD / microSD card instead? That is why your idea just isn't very good.

 

yeah u right but i have micro sd 32 inserted in phone but you know
I dont want to still remove it out its pain in the ...
that micro usb I can carry on cross with keys and use it Just with phones... and by the way plenty Windows 7 mobiles coming up they will definet. support usb keys ... and all phones SHOULD have micro usb connection ONLY + for ONE standard charging no milions different ports ..
