“The next phone I buy better be able to read my USB hard drive”, was what I said one day. It seems mobile phone manufacturers are developing a totally unrelated feature, (namely cameras), and ignoring a huge opportunity. Just thinking about the possibilities made my mouth water. I could hook up my phone with my drive and watch movies, listen to music, edit documents, without having to be restricted by my memory card. And interoperability wherever there is a USB port, which is everywhere by the way. Yummy! “So stop making cameras and do something worthwhile, phone developers!!”.
Actually, progress is already being made. [Link] Sweeet!! I can’t wait till they make this more mainstream. While the device doesn’t seem to have enough juice to power a hard drive, its a start and I’m not complaining.
On a side note, why does every idea I have turn out to be already worked on? …
:\
So, you’re back up!
