Toshiba TransferJet hands-on: NFC-like file transfers faster than ever

We are live from Qualcomm's Uplinq event at Sunny San Diego. We have already seen much of what is around, but one always finds great products at the show floor. Let's take a loot at this one – it's Toshiba's TransferJet technology. Sending files via NFC is great for small files, but it is worthless if you want to send anything that over a hefty amount of megabytes. This is why Samsung's S-Beam is so convenient (uses WiFi to transfer), but it is still not fast enough to send files that are too large.

Prospecs Power Walk 503 sport walking shoes review

. The right tools will make any activity easier and more enjoyable. For example, you wouldn't want to build a house with a Swiss Army Knife or paint a portrait with a toothbrush. So it follows that a runner wouldn't wear flip flops to run a marathon and a sports walker shouldn't wear running shoes to walk for fitness. I've never tried shoes designed especially for walking even though I purposefully walk a couple miles a day. Most days I wear a pair of Asics cross trainers. I liked them so much that I bought 4 pairs just so I'd have a pair even when they stop making them.
