The way that many people share files with friends is to lend each other their flash drives and collect them at a later date. The Dixie by Ardhyaska Amy makes the practice of transferring data from one portable device to another much more convenient: it does not require the presence of a computer to do so.
Measuring about the dimensions of an iPhone, the gadget has four connection ports and a vivid touchscreen interface. You can plug in thumbdrives, and smartphones and tablets via cable. The product also employs bluetooth 4.0 for wireless capabilities. When at least two devices are hooked up to Dixie, the display shows thumbnails of the files. A simple drag and drop gesture with your fingertip will copy one item onto another.
