Idea for manufacturers

[Nate1778]

So as you can tell from the post count I am fairly new, as a matter of fact 3 days off the analogs. Sitting here with my Bloog Max Fusion at my computer charging my battery from this morning with their nifty little USB charger. In doing so I had to remove it to put in my zip drive to retrieve some files.

Long story short, would be a cool little accessory to incorporate a zip drive into the charger. Just saying, for guys that use the itty bitty chargers and sit in front of a computer all day.

yeah it could have a slot for a micro sd card in it

You mean a real zip drive? I didnt think people still used those..

You can alwas get a usb hub so you can plug many devices in at once!

Some of us have several USB ports on the computer ...

And I agree with all above, and I recon I mean a memory schtik. I do have numerous USB ports but it seams logical to get rid of one of the various items in the pocket. Just makes sense to carry one item that plugs into a usb in my pocket rather than two.

Just an idea, I come up with them fairly regularly, some good, some smell like an analog.

I think he means a jump drive or thumb drive charger with 8, 16, 32 etc GB of storage on board. I agree, they should do that.

yep you can get 64 gigs on a micro sd card seems like it would be small enough to fit in a usb charger now you just have to figure out how to turn you charger into a sd card reader + charger.

Just get a powered USB hub (not one that divides one port's worth of power between all devices on the port since your charging cable probably expects the full 500mA as input).

You can also get a passthrough and vape off power. If it has an inline real battery then it's just a battery you can vape while it's charging. If it just has a hollow battery shape handle then you cannot run it off a PC and it needs its own 2 or 3 amp USB to AC.

Would be even cooler if you could tweak the chip in the batt through the USB drive to adjust settings such as cut off and what not, read usage, ect. ect. Figure it's a digital cigarette, might as well litteraly go digital. Don't know, just know I build drones for fun and the ability to plug them into a pute and see everything from attitude to GPS coordinates is pretty remarkable.

OR, A smartphone mod with a 510 connection right on the phone with an app to control variable voltage B-)

Seriosly tho, I think you're onto something. Perfect accessory for the SD Keyring mod. I would buy one, god knows I have jump drives on every key ring, and I keep at least 5 around for separate purposes.

I think we are still in the early stages of development look at how far the cell phone came.
When i was at work years ago mine was huge and co-workers used to laugh until one day my stubborn old wife got us a new one then they all were like wow what does it do.
Perhaps one day these devices will have many different features as things get smaller and smaller and smaller.

Don't worry, pretty soon your robot will do all of that stuff for you
