Sony was first to show off Transfer Jet at CES last year, but the products it touted never materialised. Now Toshiba says it’s ready to shove the wireless transfer technology inside laptops and TVs launching this year.
Transfer Jet allows ludicrously fast data transfers without wires, and can be activated simply by moving two gadgets close together.
It works once both devices are within 3cm of each other, and then blasts information between them at up to 560Mbps.
Toshiba has shown it sending photos from a handheld device to a TV in seconds and syncing a PDA with a laptop just by placing it on top of the wrist rest.
There’s no guarantee a TV and laptop will be the first products to feature Transfer Jet when Toshiba formally introduces it this year however. Last year, Sony showed camcorders offloading footage to PCs using the technology, and its uses are practically unlimited.
Check out the photos of it in action below, and stay tuned for news of the first Transfer Jet products when we hear it.
