What is OTG (On-The-Go)?
USB OTG (On-The-Go) allows your mobile
device to become a host to directly communicate with USB peripherals such as
flash drives. It often uses a Micro-USB connector to link the host devices.
The difference between OTG, Bluetooth,NFC,
and others.
Using Bluetooth to transfer a large file is
painfully slow, and usually requires pairing. Most desktop PCs don’t equip
Bluetooth.
NFC (Near Field Communication) is
relatively new on smartphones and tablets. NFC is faster than Bluetooth. However,
NFC requires two devices to remain close together during file transferring. However,
most of laptop and desktop PCs don’t equip NFC.
OTG is also very fast. Today, major
smartphones, tablets (not iPhone, or iPad) in the market support OTG. OTG is a
“Plug & Use” feature for most of the supported devices. You can enable
SYMLIS Sparrow’s OTG functionality on the Micro-USB connector to communicate
with your mobile devices and use its USB Type A connector to communicate with
your PCs.
Some other types of file sharing methods
such as Cloud storage and Wi-Fi Direct, need additional Internet or wireless
connections. The transferring rates vary depending on conditions.

You schedule seems longer than other
similar project?
Manufacturing is tricky. Even though we are
working hard to keep things on schedule, there may be some unforeseen variables
such as delays on material supplies. Manufacturing high quality products
requires time and effort. We understand that you are eager to receive your
products, but it is better to delay for high quality than lose quality control just to rush production. As you may know already, many crowdfunding projects suffer
delays and other complications because they leave themselves too little margin
for unexpected issues. Instead of providing you an unrealistic delivery
schedule, we leave margins in our schedule for handling these unforeseen
obstacles during manufacturing, and we work diligently to minimize the impact
on delivery schedule caused by any potential issues in the future.
