Toshiba shows off Transfer Jet
Video
Wireless 10 times faster than Bluetooth
Thu Feb 11 2010, 10:53
AT TOSHIBA'S PREVIEW of its upcoming products for 2010 it demoed its Transfer Jet short distance wireless technology on one of its portable computers.
This technology, which was first shown at CES in Las Vegas, has been captured by the INQUIRER running on a Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop, which was especially kitted out for the January show. Said to be a replacement for USB technology for its transfer speed, Transfer Jet could also be a replacement for Bluetooth, too. It's 10 times the speed of that current short distance wireless tech, whilst more on par with USB in terms of transfer rate, with a ceiling of 560Mbps. µ

And what about the upcoming bluetooth 2.0? Seems like another HD-DVD vs. Bluray to me lol.
TransferJet is intended for a range of just a few inches at very high speed. Think of it in terms of highspeed data transmission between two devices without the hassle of having to physically cable them together. Simple close proximity is enough.
I'm lost how does this replace bluetooth?
It seems more like a replacement for the aged InfraRed tech.
This doesn't work without line of sight..& touch the device to transfer please.
It's hardly a replacement for bluetooth or WiFi.
It's a neat tech none the less but I don't think it'll get as popular as bluetooth
