How Portable Memory Is Changing The Game

Just recently I came across a very interesting device that I didn’t initially think I’d have much use for, but surprisingly worked out to be a pretty handy device to kinda have around the house. I present to you the Kingston MobileLite Wireless. Its a small device that helps you share media on to various devices.  It is essentially a reader and it frees up space for your phone and tablet. It can share data with up to three users simultaneously over Wi-Fi. It even acts as an emergency charger for you smartphone. And to add to that you get one year warranty and free technical support. Now that is a lot of things that little piece of plastic does. Its hard to imag...
