To be honest, that picture looks conspicuously computer generated, so we’re not sure if the FlashPoint SharePlayer, from XMultiple, actually exists in a form that isn’t vapor at this point. That said, we see no reason why it shouldn’t as the company that makes it has already put to market a previous version, the ShareDrives: a flash drive with USB SOTG (Sharing fOn-The-Go), which allows for easy drive to drive file transfer, without the need for a computer. Just plug one drive to the other, and transfer away.
Well, the SharePlayers are just an updated version of that, with MP3 playback abilities, as well as an FM tuner, FM recording, a microphone, and e-books capabilities. They come in sizes of 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB, with prices ranging from $90 to $245. Of course, the ability to instantly share tunes with your pals might not sit so well with DRM junkies, so your ability to playback legally downloaded music may be limited.
For a bunch more features, come inside.
-Teachers and students can exchange lectures and assignments away from computers or networks.
