As I’ve shared last year and the year before, the lack of access to traditional holiday movies due to streamers exclusively acquiring holiday movie titles to offer on their sites only makes even the grinchiest of scrooges disgusted. The holiday season is often a time where family members will put down their smartphones and actually spend time with each other watching kitschy holiday themed movies on a single screen. That’s become harder and harder to do as there are more and more streaming services that are snatching up these valuable properties and hording them for their own exclusive streaming rights. The movies you always enjoyed growing up and were always available to watch for free on broadcast TV are no longer so convenient to watch.

That’s why I feel like a broken record when I say, make sure you keep a copy of any movie or music you love, or even just like a lot, and willing to watch over and over again, on an optical disc. Keeping these titles on Blu-ray, DVD, or CD ensures that you will always have them available in hi-res digital quality anytime you want to watch them. Don’t waste your money signing up for a streaming service that you eventually forget to cancel to watch a single program once a year. Save your money and frustration searching which streamer is playing that program this year, but keeping all your favorites on optical discs that will be available year after year, any and every day you want to watch them.

Reminder, Vinpower will be exhibiting at CES in Las Vegas, NV January 9th-12th, 2024 in Central Hall, Booth # 16646. If you’re attending, we hope you visit with us.

The CES Innovation Awards program, is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in 29 consumer technology product categories. Those with the highest rating receive the “Best of Innovation” distinction. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic and design, which the iXCharger was selected.

The iXCharger is the first universal charging plus storage cube, offering the ability to charge the battery and provide extended storage memory for virtually all smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers. All content can be viewed, accessed, and shared between these devices. Plus, it provides automatic secure AES 256 encrypted key backup through our proprietary iOS APP for an iPhone or iPad. Because of its compact 65W GaN based power charger combined with up to 1.5TB storage, the iXCharger reduces e-waste and redundancy, creating an ESG environmentally conscious universal 2-in-1 solution for both charging and secure backup and storage.

The iXCharger will be shown in the Innovation Awards Showcase at CES 2024, as well as at Vinpower’s booth located in Central Hall, booth # 16646.

Secure Digital Cards, more formally known as SD and MicroSD Cards, have practically become the universal memory for all small portable electronic devices. SD or MicroSD cards are used in mobile phones, tablets, TV’s, cameras, game consoles, navigation, and so many other devices that require very small compact stable memory. The reason SD and MicroSD Cards are so popular is because they are made of extremely durable and solid material, which prevents most mechanical damage from occurring. They are based on non-volatile memory to ensure the stability of data and it doesn’t require periodic refreshing or prone to failure due to abrupt power outages. That’s why it’s perfect for portable devices or stored in devices that are prone to the elements and turbulent conditions, including many components that used in cars, planes, boats, etc.

We all recognize the value of SD and MicroSD Cards, but what’s the point of this email blast? The key is, unlike optical discs that can be replicated, there’s only 1 way to transfer information onto SD and MicroSD Cards, duplication through a computer or a standalone SD/MicroSD Card duplicator. Even though cameras and cell phones may require empty SD/MicroSD cards that the owners will fill up with photos, videos, music, movies or what not, many of the devices that use SD/MicroSD Cards have content prestored on them. The manufacturers of those products need a quick and easy way to transfer identical content across hundreds, thousands, even millions, of cards accurately and in the shortest time possible.

Vinpower offers a full range of SD duplicators, in sizes from 1 to 3 up to 1 to 127, in a single console that offer slots for both standard SD Cards and MicroSD Cards. Having a dedicated MicroSD slot means you don’t need an adaptor to fit in the standard SD slot, saving time and costs. Vinpower has worked with a variety of entities, from auto manufacturers, to licensed toy manufacturers providing SD duplicators so they can reproduce the SD and MicroSD Cards that make their devices operate. That is the one thing they all have in common, the items they are producing require hundreds of thousands of identically reproduced SD and/or MicroSD Cards that are to be inserted into every device they plan to sell.

If you are developing a program that needs to be copied onto multiple SD or MicroSD Cards, Vinpower’s line of SD Duplicators is the perfect device to make it happen.

For years, Apple has pushed iPhone and iPad users to backup and store their photos and videos in their proprietary iCloud. For the first time ever, they are touting the ability of the latest iPhone 15 Pro and ProMax to allow for physical external storage. This is a big departure for Apple, recognizing the importance of being able to increase video capabilities by being able to directly record to an external storage device to both increase storage capacity and expedite editing capabilities by directly taking the filmed content to a separate computer or editing bay.

Vinpower has been touting this feature for years with our iXflash line and I’m proud to say that our iXflash with a dual Lighting and USB-C connections will continue to offer this capability. Not only do you have the ability to continuously record long form videos in ultra hi-res 4K quality, but with the USB-C and Lightning connections, you can view and store that content across virtually any computer, mobile phone, tablet, and even older iPhones with the Lightning connections.

As Apple evolves in their recognition of the importance of physical external storage, Vinpower too will stay ahead of the curve in providing market leading storage products that will work with the widest number of portable electronic products and offer the most advanced features.

I’ve long touted the advantages of Vinpower’s line of mobile flash drives like the iXflash and the iXflash Cube. What I haven’t mentioned publicly before is that we also offer OEM/ODM opportunities for other companies to also have their own line of similar mobile flash products. Because we design and create virtually every aspect of the drive, including the immersive Apple iOS App, we can create a unique line of mobile flash drives for your company to sell under your own brand and appearance.

There’s an incredibly vast market for mobile flash back-up, especially for iPhone and iPad’s, where they keep a closed network and make it harder to backup. There’s such a need for a physical product that can work in addition to or instead of using the Cloud, yet most people don’t even know this option exists. That’s why it’s such an untapped market that is prime to explode. Now that Apple has changed the iPhone connection to USB-C, there are endless possibilities.

If you want to build a new avenue of growth and revenue for your company, Vinpower can give you a solution that reflects your companies style and customer experience!

The iXCharger recently won the “Most Innovative Flash Memory Consumer” at the 2023 Flash Memory Summit, but what is it? It’s great to get recognition for your accomplishments, but it doesn’t mean much if you can’t relate to the product. That’s why we are sharing a quick quirky animated video to highlight what the iXCharger is and why it was worthy of this and other awards as a truly innovative and soon to be market leading consumer product.

Check out the below video and see for yourself the many benefits the iXCharger can provide for anyone with a laptop, smartphone, and/or tablet.

When you participate in a new tradeshow, you never know how your products are going to be received, especially for a specialized industry event like the Flash Media Summit. We were pleasantly surprised at how receptive these titans of the industry were, especially with our upcoming iXCharger, 65W up to 1TB power + storage charger and hard drive in one. Even though this was the first time we exhibited at the FMS, the prestigious judging committee saw fit to award Vinpower with the “Most Innovative Flash Memory Consumer” for the iXCharger, solidifying that we are indeed moving in the right direction with our latest breakthrough in the storage field.

There were a number of visitors to our booth from both the industry and academia that were quite taken at the brilliance in which we were able to marry the two applications. In fact, some of them had made a stab at the concept in the past, but were not able to create a viable product as we have done.

In the end, it is always an honor to receive an award and outstanding complimentary feedback on a product your team has worked long and hard to create, but it’s an especially proud moment when they come from those that are tops in the flash/storage field. These positive reactions continue to fuel us that we’re on the right track. We even have ongoing discussions with high profile companies and executives interested in taking on the line for their product offerings. Stay tuned for more news on this.

Additionally, our iXflash and iXflash Cube series were also very well received and show that they is indeed a scarcity of competent and reliable storage products specifically for mobile devices. We expect to see much more progress in both our product’s functionality and compatibility in the near future.

As everyone awaits the latest offering updates from Apple next month, it’s widely speculated that the latest line of iPhones and iPads will all be powered, not by their proprietary Lightning connection, but instead by the EU mandated USB Type C connection. As anytime Apple makes a change in the hardware design of their products, this will send shockwaves throughout the industry pushing many iPhone users to acquire all new accessories that work with the new modifications. Fortunately, if you had previously purchased the iXflash with the Lightning to USB Type C connections, you won’t have to change anything as this device will already be compatible with the latest iPhone and iPad. In fact, this iXflash will continue to work regardless of whether you have an iPhone/iPad with a Lightning or USB Type C connection, because it offers a dual head with each version offering the same capabilities.

If you don’t want to have to swap out your mobile storage device every time there’s a new iPhone or iPad released, get the iXFlash with the Lightning to USB C heads and know that you’ll be ready for today, tomorrow, and all future iPhones.
