Taking photos via digital camera and getting them stored on to a memory card is real fun, but it becomes a headache when you have to transfer them to your PC. Even though it’s not a big deal to plug in a USB cable and transfer the files, but still it’s something that you have to remember and do whenever you get new stuff.

But now the task of data transfer from digital camera to PC can be automated. All you need to do is get an Eye-Fi Wireless SD-card for your camera and configure it to your needs. Once configured and installed in the camera, it will automatically download the photos to your PC or photo site (depending on the configuration). For this you have to connect to a home network or any Wayport hotspot and the Eye-Fi will automatically synchronise the data stored in the camera with the one stored on your computer.

The Eye-Fi offers a storage capacity of 2 GB, which means you can capture thousands of images. The only issue with this card is it that it’s highly priced. It costs around £30 more than a normal card of the same capacity. So if you are a regular traveller and don’t want to keep opening your laptop every now and then to download the images then the Eye-Fi is for you. But if most of the time you love to sit at home then try considering some other normal high capacity card available at an equivalent cost.

ATEN Technology, the company known for its sophisticated KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) devices and remote connectivity products, has come up with a new and innovative device called the Laptop USB KVM Switch. This gadget not only lets users control their PC, but also facilitates file transfer in a much better and faster way. This breakthrough gadget is a cable like device that offers direct control over two PCs simultaneously, in addition to quick and efficient file transfer.

This is specially designed for laptop users who need to connect two machines and transfer data. As soon as the Laptop USB KVM Switch is plugged in, it gives users control of the second PC. After that, users can enjoy its noticeable benefits, such as seamless file transfer and plug-and-play functionality. Moreover, and unlike the Aten Mini KVM 2 port, this switch is designed for laptop use. It also gives access to USB 2.0 peripherals like external storage drives, and adjusts the resolution of the second computer window with the display of your machine.

John G. Owen, director of sales, ATEN Technology, Inc said, “This Laptop USB KVM brings ATEN’s enterprise power to small office/home office workers who typically require access to both a personal and business PC. From the field force salesperson to the work-at-home parent to the IT administrator, the Laptop USB KVM can be utilized for a multitude of uses built on its file transfer capabilities — without the overhead and expense of a network. Unlike pure software solutions, the Laptop USB KVM allows the transfer of large files directly between two computers without the need for manual software installation. It is essentially plug-and-play.”
