Using USB sticks with flash memory has become second nature to many mobile PC users. They are a convenient way to carry a lot of files and use them with multiple devices. The folks at Elan have produced an innovative gizmo that lets you use a USB stick with any cell phone with a microUSB slot. The Mobidapter has a microSD connector on one end and a USB port on the other. This makes it possible to use high-capacity USB sticks directly with a cell phone by plugging the adapter into the phone, and plugging a USB stick into the Mobidapter. It is available immediately according to the folks at Elan. £36.99 (about $60).
