There are many ways of moving files between various devices, wired and wirelessly, but most of these methods usually need you to handle files individually, and it's not exactly a quick and easy process.

That's where USB On-the-Go flash drives come in, like the one that Gigastone just revealed.

Called simply Gigastone On-The-Go, the drive comes in 16 GB and 32 GB variants, or will come once 2014 rolls around. It also has both full-size and micro-USB ports.

OTG technology allows it to recognize OTG-supporting phones and tablets as hosts like it would a PC. Any Android Smartphone or tablet running Android Jelly Bean 4.1 OS or better is on that list.

It's useful for, say, transferring photos and videos from a phone or tablet, thus freeing memory for further shots and films. Then at home you can move it to a PC normally.

Sadly, no prices are known for Gigastone’s product.
