The Power Company: Flex-Card Storage for Every Phone and Computer
$345 for 256GB model
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on April 17, 2015 at 2:53 pmThe Power Company has launched an physical storage device that brings together all mobile phones and computer devices.
The Flex-Card, which can connect iPhones, Androids, iPads, PCs, tablets, Macs and more, was released on Indiegogo. The Flex-Card, the fourth product created by The Power Company, seeks to bridge the gap of sharing files between different OSs without connecting to a cloud-based system.
“With all the problems people have experienced with the cloud and browser-based storage, the Flex-Card should make technology users feel more secure by not utilizing an Internet connection,” said Gene Aikens, founder and Flex-Card‘s designer, The Power Company.
The Flex-Card contains two flexible cables, as well as connectors that can attach, depending on the device the user is using. The two main cables include a USB 3.0 connector and a micro connector, while the attachments include a lightning 8-pin connector (iPhone 5 and newer), 30-pin (iPhone/iPad older generations), and the newly released USB-C.
“With the cables being flexible, users can connect to any device protected by a case, without having to remove their phone,” said Aikens, describing the added features of the Flex-Card.
The Power Company is seeking to initially raise $3,000 through its Flex-Card Indiegogo campaign to start production of the manufacturing molds. Once the company hits its funding goal, another Indiegogo campaign will immediately be launched to raise $50,000 for the first Flex-Card manufacturing run. Other plans for the Flex-Card include a variety of colors, clip-on attachments, and new app development. The current Indiegogo Flex-Card specials range from $65 to $345 for the 256GB model.
Flex-Card features include:
-
Copy/move files between Android, Apple/iOS mobile devices, tablets, PC, and/or MAC into the Flex-Card.
-
No Internet needed: Open files directly from the Flex-Card without using a cloud system or Internet connection.
