TransferJet-equipped SDHC card launched by Toshiba

Toshiba Electronics has launched an SDHC card that combines Class 10 memory with TransferJetTM close proximity wireless transfer technology. The 16GByte SDHCTM card, THN-J301W0160E6, will enable users of digital cameras or camcorders to transfer photos and videos to mobile devices such as tablets, notebooks and smartphones equipped with TransferJet adapters.

TransferJet is a close proximity, wireless transfer technology, similar to NFC technology in a credit or debit card. It is claimed to feature simple operation, safe connection and high data throughput. Touching two TransferJet devices together automatically initiates data transfer.

Users can specify and restrict which devices can connect within the software as well as physically controlling which devices are brought into proximity with each other. The short transmission distance improves security by minimising data leakage, without the need for complex security measures.

The SDHC card joins Toshiba's line-up of TransferJet adapters for USB and microUSB ports as well as Lightning ports for iPhone and iPad.
