are designed to provide best in-class features and performance for gaming

00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,480
click now to learn more the Kingston mobilite Wireless is a multi-purpose

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:24,279
device it's a wireless video streamer so it's designed to stream to Portable

5
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:28,199
devices like phones and tablets it is a wireless card reader so it has an SD

6
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,320
card reader as well as a wireless USB reader for aention mobile devices and

7
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:37,600
finally it is a backup battery although I really feel the first two are the ones

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,559
where it really shows its strength whereas that third one is not a strong

9
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:44,120
point for it it has an 1850 mAh battery

10
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:47,520
for both itself for its own functionality and to charge an attached

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,079
device so it's more like something you'd use an emergency as opposed to something

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,320
where you'd have your phone Tethered to it while you wirelessly stream something

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:58,199
to yourself and expect to sit and watch movies like that overall the device is a

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,160
little bit on the larger side than I would have liked and it but still feels

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,320
quite light and whether that to you is more like like an oh it feels kind of

16
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:09,920
cheap or whether you prefer to have things be lightweight I I like it when

17
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,840
things have a little bit of heft to them but the good news is that my initial

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,960
impression of oh it feels kind of light and and expensive uh was correct it is

19
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:22,079
relatively inexpensive for 50 bucks Kingston is giving you a platform with

20
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,200
which to use your own storage in order to stream things wirelessly as opposed

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,439
to most of the devices like this on the market that include storage and are

22
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,560
therefore much more expensive so you can just use existing USB drive and SD cards

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,960
that you have lying around which is definitely a plus also my experience

24
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:41,720
continued to be positive once I fired up the app download so you can see I've got

25
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,000
it running on a variety of platforms here everything from an iOS tablet down

26
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:50,240
to a couple of Android smartphones and the ratings of the app in addition to my

27
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:55,240
experience seem to uh reinforce that overall it's pretty darn good it doesn't

28
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:59,479
have a lot of functionality and many of the mediocre ratings for the app are

29
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:03,039
less to do with it didn't work it sucks and more to do with here's some great

30
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,880
stuff Kingston could add in order to make it better which I think is is

31
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,479
actually a very positive indicator of the direction that they're going with it

32
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:15,040
stability first and then trying to add more features a lot of these Wireless

33
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,879
streamers just flat out don't work very

34
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:21,760
well the easy setup guide within the app is a little bit verbose it's a little

35
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,920
bit text Heavy not as visual as I'd like but it covers all the basic stuff like

36
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,280
connecting to the mobile light Wireless through Wi-Fi how to secure the

37
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:33,000
connection and then how to set up internet p through so the all three of

38
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:37,239
these devices have internet connections and they're streaming 1080p media from

39
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:41,319
this thing at the same time the app could definitely be prettier

40
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:45,400
particularly on the Android side but the functionality is Rock Solid and I didn't

41
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:49,519
have to waste any time fighting with it to get it to work so I I think this is

42
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:55,000
actually the first time that I've seen an app that really feels more mature and

43
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:59,159
more solid on Android than it does on iOS and a kudos to Kingston for spending

44
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:03,560
the time on the dominant plat what is now the dominant platform to make it

45
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,159
actually work correctly so often I see the iOS app is awesome and the Android

46
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,480
one is kind of like frankensteined together and even seeing both of them at

47
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:14,120
parody is uh not as common as I'd like but in this case I really felt the

48
00:03:12,799 --> 00:03:19,000
Android one was quite strong even though the iOS one did look a little bit better

49
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:24,920
I mean to be clear guys the iOS app is fine it's functional but it doesn't have

50
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,000
the same uh the same number of features

51
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:31,680
and part of this is is just iOS's fault in the first place so for example the uh

52
00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:35,120
ability to directly copy files back and forth wherever you need within the

53
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:39,040
directory structure on the device is something that the Android app can do

54
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,400
but the iOS 1 can't um something that I wouldn't mind seeing added to the iOS

55
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,439
one is the ability to use a third-party player um so on the Android one I can

56
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,200
use just the included player I can use BS Player I can use whatever I want so

57
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:54,920
that I get great file compatibility whereas on the iOS one it basically just

58
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,360
isn't even detecting the immedia file types that it's that it doesn't support

59
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,560
so that was that was a bit of an issue for me with the iOS one um I did test

60
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:07,799
with up to three devices streaming 1080p but these are uh reasonably low bit rate

61
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,840
files like they're not like crazy uncompressed or anything like that and

62
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:16,160
there were no issues at a range that I'd consider to be reasonable so anywhere

63
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,000
within sort of 10 or 15 ft typically this is something I'd use for traveling

64
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,840
in the car on a plane or something like that so you wouldn't be tremendously far

65
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:28,720
away from it um one cool thing is that it does allow both the USB uh port and

66
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:32,600
the SD card slot to be used at the same time so you can pack some serious

67
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,880
storage punch if you want to all you do is use the app to select which one

68
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:42,520
you're interested in browsing and you can browse the local storage on the device or built within the app on the

69
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,000
iOS version as well Kingston does have a

70
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:51,479
1 tbte USB drive and then you could throw up to a 256 G SD card in there for

71
00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:56,639
a massive amount of storage in fact I've even seen people using them with USB

72
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,479
hard drives if you have a um a pigtailed

73
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:01,960
connector and then you use another USB connector for power and plug into a

74
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,560
portable battery bank or something like that so there's a ton of flexibility

75
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,720
here and I think overall my takeaway from this review is that it's great to

76
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:14,199
see how much these devices have matured since the early attempts like the

77
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:18,199
expensive and unsuccessful wi Drive um they still don't really make any sense

78
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,880
at home since there are much better Solutions like air video and emit for

79
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:27,440
streaming when you have anytime you have a data connection like from your home PC

80
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:33,039
across Wi-Fi or even on someone else's Wi-Fi but for traveling particular on

81
00:05:30,039 --> 00:05:34,479
planes these things are a godsend the

82
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:39,720
mobile light definitely gets a green light from me at under 50 bucks and I

83
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,919
think it is a very very smart buy I

84
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,240
guess I didn't really talk about it physically much so it's um got a USB

85
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:50,639
charging port to charge the internal battery a USB port for the uh USB you

86
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:55,199
know drive and then it has an SD card slot and I guess there's not really a whole lot to say power button so you

87
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:58,919
hold that to turn it on thank you for checking out my overview and review

88
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,360
