MBridge: WiFi Multimedia Viewer with Hi-Speed USB OTG

The MBridge primary goal is to free consumers from PC. For starter, you can locate any nearby WiFi access point, log on and then surf the web navigating with a stylus. On the browser, you can log in any online music stores of your choice, whether it be Allofmp3, Yahoo! Music or Napster. (How it pass the compatibility test is beyond us since some requires WMP10.) Purchased tracks can be played back locally or downloaded to a USB MP3 player. MBridge mentions USB CD/DVD burner, but technically, you should be able to burn songs on audio CDs.

The MBridge is also for the shutter-bugs; it allows you to upload photos from a USB camera directly to MSN Photos, Wal-Mart Photo Center, Yahoo Photos and etc. The peer-to-peer transfer between a DSC and the MBridge is Hi-Speed USB OTG - a first seen on a portable device. Other USB bridges only manage to crawl at original USB speed or 12Mbps. Via the photo tools, you can crop, resize, adjust saturation, sign, and apply multiple filters to the pics. Unicon didn't say anything about the MBridge video capability. We assume it's going to be limited as the gadget lacks a HDD. Its storage relies solely on SD. It would be cool if there's a 60GB 1.8" HDD to store the MPEG-2 video from a USB HDD camcorder.
