Toshiba FlashAir wireless memory cards arrive
Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 6:25PM A wireless high-capacity SD card announced by Toshiba in March finally made it to retail shelves Tuesday.
The $80 FlashAir card allows data stored on the device to be transferred using standard WLAN communications. There is no installing of drivers or software and the built-in wireless LAN access point in the card does not require that it be connected to the Internet.
Several devices can access the card at the same time, Toshiba explained in a statement. So, for example, you could show your friends photos on your smartphone while at the same time downloading them to a PC.
The card, which has an 8GB capacity, is optimized for power efficiency and switches on only when necessary.
