Power Quotient International (PQI), a member of the Foxlink Group, successfully unveiled the Wi-Fi enabled PQI Air Drive during the 2012 International CES to much fanfare. The product was well-received and widely praised, and is officially available for purchase in countries around the world beginning today.
The PQI Air Drive is rooted in the concept of sharing and emphasizes a patented small, lightweight circuit design and the incorporation of the latest Wi-Fi technology. It offers a solution for users of smart phones, tablets, and other handheld devices who often run into the problem of limited memory expansion when the built-in memory becomes inadequate.
The PQI Air Drive presents a slew of industry breakthroughs in terms of user friendliness by achieving major reductions in both volume and weight. The unique and elegantly designed body is as small as a credit card and only 8 mm thick, enabling it to easily slide into a shirt pocket. Its finely brushed metal shell with a hairline finish is available in both iron grey and jet black, giving the product a glossy and transparent look of sophisticated luxury that also keeps it free of fingerprints and smudges. The entire device weighs only 55 grams, making it the lightest and most portable model in the industry. In addition, the friendly SD card slot supports plug and play. Consumers can tailor the device's capacity as needed including instant expansion up to 32 GB SDHC. When the power is turned on, a green power indicator light and a blue Wi-Fi indicator light flash at the same time to clearly indicate disk activity. Instant two-way file transfer and sharing with friends have never been easier.
Moreover, the PQI Air Drive provides a retractable USB cord which eliminates the need to carry extra cables. The cord is cleverly concealed in the drive and can easily be pulled out when needed. Forgetting to carry extra cables will never be a problem again. Consumers can download free PQI exclusive app, S+ Flash (which supports Android and iOS), at the app store before using the product. The intuitive user interface allows you to instantly share your most treasured photos, videos, and music simultaneously with up to 5 friends, all at the touch of a button. The built-in high performance lithium-ion battery is safe and environmentally friendly, and offers up to 5 hours of continuous video playback for a single user. Users no longer have to worry about running out of power, and can simply enjoy convenient sharing anytime, anywhere.
In addition to the application of wireless technology, the PQI Air Drive also proves the potential of wireless technology in developing new user behaviors. PQI is honored and very happy to share the Air Drive with the public and looks forward to providing even more wonderful products in the future. Breaking away from the physical barriers by going wireless enables people to access more possibilities and unlimited opportunities. With PQI's "Memory in the Air", users can access the cloud like never before and enjoy wireless lifestyles with unlimited possibilities.
