Infinitec has announced their Infinite USB memory (IUM) stick which claims to allow any USB port-equipped devices or computers to share and stream contents via WiFi. As long as a device has a USB port, such as your Blu-Ray player, gaming consoles, HDTV, you can hook up the IUM stick to the device’s USB port to let it share content and stream media from other connected devices.
Infinitec also promises that the IUM stick works with all file formats and extensions or types. And it’s capable of streaming full HD content as well. The IUM stick is also compatible with various OSes including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Games consoles such as Xbbox 30, PS3 and Nintendo Wii are able to receive streamed content via the IUM too.
The IUM stick has no internal memory, it simply relies on WiFi connection to stream and receive content. Surprisingly, there isn’t any need of driver installation on your PC, it’s simply a plug-and-play operation and no pairing between devices either.
It seems to work more conveniently than what Intel Wireless Display technology could do. Infinitec has not announced any pricing and actual availability info, but more information is expected to surface on March 1st.
