Leyio’s “personal sharing device” letting you store and share digital information has been launched with the claim “for the 1st time, the digital generation is preparing to take their web experience offline”.

The PSD lets users exchange digital content away from their PC. Leyio sees the device used for sharing Facebook info, swapping digital entertainment or exchanging business cards. With 16GB memory, users can send digital content to another Leyio device “with simply a flick of the wrist” once the fingerprint scanner has okayed the use.

Leyio announces a photograph of about 3MB can be exchanged in 0.3 seconds and a private flick in around twenty seconds, whilst photographs, business cards and web links can be received by another Leyio device just about instantly.

The Leyio works with standard USB sticks too by plugging the USB device into the Leyio to transfer the information. The Leyio features the “Shuttle”, which detaches from the PSD and plugs into the USB port on your PC as a method to transfer files. The device is powered by a chargeable battery that’s claimed to last for as much as a month of ordinary use and up to six months in standby mode.
