The REDFLY is an interesting gadget, one intended to let you use your smartphone to the fullest and with greater comfort. It’s essentially a laptop without anything inside – no OS, no CPU, and no storage. So what you get is an interface which when connected to your smartphone via USB cord or Bluetooth lets you work faster and see bigger.
Admittedly, for all the computing and multimedia features of a smartphone, the small screen and smaller keys take a lot away from the practical functionality of these devices. REDFLY positions itself as an alternative to mini-laptops and netbooks. Typing emails, opening attachments, and viewing websites becomes easier with a REDFLY.
Here are a few things that you can do with REDFLY -
- Make maximum use of the mobile OS used in your smartphone.
- Use applications like mobile CRM with greater ease.
- Connect to remote desktops via your smartphones running the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) native client.
- Access data on USB flash drives
- Charge your smartphone with REDFLY’s batteries.
- Work on text messages or emails and talk via the smartphone at the same time.
- Control all smartphone buttons using a mouse connected to REDFLY.
- 8 hour battery life
- Offers better TCO as compared to laptops and tighter information control with respect to information sharing with a mobile workforce
