Our lives will soon, if they’re not ­already, be overrun by USB devices and their cables. The ­TechSmart office ­storeroom is ­littered with the ­remnants of USB ­devices and a massive tangle of USB ­cables, in every shape and form.

All these devices are ­supposed to make life easier by letting you share files via USB, but what you end up with is never having the right cable or card reader to get your files off your flash disk, camera or MP3 player.

The USB Anywhere solves this problem by removing the need to move from the device onto computer and then onto another ­device. It’s a pretty ­simple gadget to use. You simply plug your source ­device, say your camera, into the source slot and then you plug your destination device, like a flash disk into the ­destination slot and hey presto, you move data from the one to the other.
