IFA 2009: Transfer Jet image gallery

We've heard about Toshiba and Sony's Transfer Jet 'touch to transfer' technology at IFA. Here are a few pics of it in action to tide you over until Toshiba releases its first Transfer Jet laptop in Q1 next year.



The high data transfer rate (560Mbps) and close quarters operation mean its a speedy and in theory very secure way of pinging your files around.



On Sony's stand were a number of Japanese phones already in production with Transfer Jet on board. They gave a demonstration of how you might snaffle videos from a Transfer Jet enabled kiosk like the one below. Perfect for videos of dolphins, jumbo jets and skydivers, apparently.


We almost missed it, but nestling amongst the Japanese phones was an X-series Walkman with Transfer Jet on board (see logo top centre). It was unclear as to whether it was simply a testing prototype for a future release (like the TG01 below) or just the result of a firmware upgrade.


USB add-ons are also in the pipeline such as this one for pumping pics into a Sony digital photo frame.


Here you can see the Transfer Jet logo to the left of the touchpad on a Toshiba Qosmio. That's where you slap your phone/media player etc for the transfer to start...


...as demonstrated here with a modified Toshiba TG01. We were told that the next iteration of the TG01 phone (surely named TG02 for all the counting fans out there) would come with Transfer Jet tech as standard.
