This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yup. It was used to transfer photos from a camera to a phone back in the day when cameras didn't have wireless transfer features.
They’ve been around for a while. I used one with a 5D MkII several years ago. Horrible throughput. It was only useful for a quick transfer of a few images. Totally unsuitable for field dumps.
Had one for my iPaq in the early 2000s.
