The phrase “big things come in small packages” may be something that the developers of this new IndieGoGo project took to heart. The OTG (On the Go) is probably the first and only (so far) 3.0 flash drive that has a 3-way connection to micro-USB and “lightning” devices where it can function as storage, charger, syncing cable and a host of other applications that you can use it for.
The tiny, square device functions primarily as extended storage for your smartphone or tablet and it can store anything from music to documents to photos to videos. And because it uses the USB 3.0 interface, transfer time is fast, even for big files. You need to use the OTG app, you can transfer, edit, create your files and then shuttle them between and among your PC/desktop and mobile devices. It is compatible with a lot of platforms, including iOS, Windows, and of course Android devices.
The OTG supposedly also has a lot of other functions. You can use it to control your device camera and take pictures. It can also be used as a remote for playing, pausing, and skipping your music from your smartphone or tablet. You can also use it to charge your mobile device because it is also a small battery extender. And if you connect it to your key ring, it has a Bluetooth locator so you can find it/them in case you’ve misplaced something. You can also detect your phone through this device (assuming someone didn’t steal it and has taken it far, far, away).
OTG comes in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacity and you can actually pre-order it through their website already with prices starting at $199. But you can get it at a cheaper rate if you support their campaign on IndieGoGo, with prices starting at $109. There are 30 days left in the campaign where they need to raise $50,000.

This is a crowdfunded project, and as such may not deliver what its creators initially promise. Most crowdfunding sites, like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, have policies about what happens to your money if the project fails to deliver on its goals, but choosing to back a project is inevitably a risk. Android Community’s reporting on crowdfunded projects should in no way be seen as an endorsement, unless specifically stated, and we recommend closely examining the terms and conditions to understand your individual rights as a backer before making a pledge.
