Transfer Jet is Sony's new technology which allows you to transfer files rapidly just by placing devices in close proximity to one another. It apparently dispenses with passwords until the security protocols are hacked and posted online?) and the need to search for wireless networks.

Transfer speeds are theoretically possible up to 560 MBPS (USB = 480) and it can be built in to the computer or added as a USB peripheral (thereby knocking down speeds to 480 maximum one assumes).

Seems to me that all of this fuss about how we move information is diverting attention away from the fact that we do seem to move rather a lot of it.
