davegee Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Do you have an iPad and do you want to be able to transfer your images from your camera to the iPad with the minimum of fuss anywhere, anytime wirelessly?The Kingston Mobilelite is a card reader for SD cards which allows you to do this.It is battery powered, and will wirelessly connect with your iPad or Android device after installing the Mobilelite APP. Plug an SD card into it and you can browse the contents on the iPad at up to Actual Pixels. Furthermore you can then copy/move images from the card to the iPad and you will be able to view these images via the APP. JPEG images are viewable and RAW files can be copied but (at this time) I can't view the RAW images. You can also access MP3 and PDF files via the APP.I have configured my camera to take RAW + JPEG and divert the RAW and JPEG files to seperate SD cards for ease of use.It also doubles as an emergency battery charger for your mobile phone.I just received mine today and (after charging the battery) was able to do all of the clever little things it is capable of in minutes.It comes with a USB Charging lead and an SD to Micro SD adaptor.£32 from Amazon UKhttp://www.kingston....wireless#mlw221I have no connection with Kingston - just a happy user.DG
davegee Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Tom, I have not tried video yet but the app indicates photos, video, audio are possible. It recognizes these files from the card and allows you to create folders to transfer to.The website mentions PDF, so I am pretty sure that it will. I will try video, PDF and audio tomorrow.It requires that an SD or micro SD card be used for the transfer.Everything needs to be initiated from the app. I will update you tomorrow.Meanwhile there are a few videos on the web site.DG

crossfade Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Can I transfer videos to/from the iPad? I would like to put some of my PTE slideshows on my iPad and transfer some of my iPad camera videos to PTE.Why not do that with iTunes? And copying stuff off the ipad, use iPhoto or Lightroom and then to pte.
davegee Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Posted November 14, 2013 Tom,PDFs are recognized and displayed perfectly from within the Mobilelite APP.So far I like it.DG
davegee Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 Tom,I tried a PTE mpeg4 for iPad 3/4 tonight and it transferred and played it fine. I have now proved that all of the files that I am likely to want to transfer are OK.DG
davegee Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Posted January 27, 2014 Update.You can also "stream" video, images, PDFs and Audio wirelessly from the Mobilelite to the Tablet/ iPad without having to fill up the "Tablet's" memory. A USB or SD card is plugged into the Kingston Mobilelite and read wirelessly from your Tablet / iPAD.It does not work through your home Broadband - it uses its own wireless network so it will work anywhere.DG
Henwind Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 Cool, I have a RavPower filehub from amazon and it transfer my pics and files from my phone to an USB easily. You should give it a try actually.
