ok, i come up with inventions all the time, most of which are good. but being me dont have any means to make money from them, so i just share some of them on AO, but only when they are IT related.

so.

Everyone knows or even has a hot swappable USB Key, or a flash hdd (mass storage device), which ever you prefer.
now a usb key uses one usb port, which could be used for another device, ie, scanner. so what if you could make it that the usb key had two usb interfaces, one for input and the other for output. that way, you can use your usb key and that other device at the same time. that way you could use more devices.

now, im pretty sure that one usb port can only be used for one device. so perhaps that part needs to be developed first...which im sure will happen, but then once that part arrises, i suppose you will be getting usb double addapters perhaps??

anyways, like i say, its just an idea. it can be worked on and its there for everyone to comment on and steal if you really want to....cause like i say, it takes money to make money and its just something i dont have a lot of

-Cheers
