One or two people have suggested this, so I visited their site. So, can you clarify: It looks like a wifi equivalent of bluetooth—is that fair? and can't work through a USB cable? Can I copy an entire directory tree at a stroke? Yielding a directory tree at the receiver end, of course. Are the file modification times preserved in the copy? Can I navigate the filesytem on one device from the other? Those are the benefits that I get from using cable transfer. (With ancient devices, I've had to resort to transferring a µSD card instead, only using bluetooth when it lacks even that.) I really only use bluetooth in the way that recording producers use rushes—for a first look. Oh, and for headphones, of course. Cheers, David.
