Sony is about to launch the first TransferJet devices

On January 23, 2010, Sony will launch the first laptop containing a short-range Wireless Transfer System and hopes TransferJet will replace the data transfer cable between devices.

TransferJet has been developed over 2 years ago, working over a distance of less than 3cm, with a speed that is said to be " on par with " USB 2.0. The first products to support TransferJet are: Sony Vaio F laptops (to be launched in Japan on January 23, 2010) and Cybershot TX7 and HX5V cameras (to be released in Japan on the day). February 5, 2010). They will be launched in the international market from February 2010.

To send pictures between cameras, the user first sends photos to a camera, then puts them near the receiving camera and all the rest will take place automatically. During the Tokyo show, sending photos between cameras, between the camera and the photo frame / PC took just a few seconds and was very easy to use.

When announcing TransferJet in January 2008, Sony said its theoretical speed was 560Mbps, the actual speed could reach 375Mbps, but during the demonstration, the transfer rate between the first generation products only reached about 40Mbps.

Sony will also release the TransferJet USB TJS-1 adapter, which can be used to send images between cameras with Bravia photo frames / TVs. TJS-1 will cost US $ 150.

There is now a support and development organization TransferJet, including members like Samsung, Toshiba, Kodak, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus, Pioneer, Sony Ericsson. So far, apart from Sony, only Toshiba has developed TransferJet device prototypes.
