And so, back in 2009, Elan created a gadget that could very well become the most revolutionary mobile accessory in recent years. The size of a plastic card, the Mobidapter device allows you to connect USB-sticks, as well as HDD and SSD to phones with a microSD slot.
On the one hand, the accessory resembles a microSD memory card, on the other - a USB host. There are two indicators on the case. Since the flash card requires power, probably the Mobidapter contains a battery, therefore, it will have to be recharged from time to time. Of course, to connect a hard drive to more serious devices, a single battery will not be enough, so external power is needed.
The device is brilliant in its simplicity. Now a user who wants to connect flash drives to his phone no longer has to chase rare models with the USB host function. Mobidapter, like flash cards, can be connected to the phone without rebooting, “hot”.
Unfortunately, the start of sales of the device has not begun. Why it happened plainly and is not clear, apparently, that the company has chosen the path of developing home control systems is preferable. At that time, smart home was more innovative.
