Belkin's Switch-to-Mac Cable
November 12th 2008
With unit Mac sales expected to rise to 40-million and beyond by 2017, what's your average untechnical and friendless PC user to do? Well, one answer comes from Belkin and its just announced hardware solution for hapless switchers--the Switch-to-Mac Cable.
Although I couldn't find anywhere to actually buy one, when it becomes available the Switch-to-Mac Cable will provide a simple way to transfer files, settings, preferences, and more from a gawd-it's-aweful PC to a beautiful Mac.
How can this amazing product press your shirts and transfer your erstwhile life to a bright and shiny future? Well, unlike existing products where you have to drag and drop specific files you want to transfer, the Switch-to-Mac Cable-with its easy-to-use Migration Assistant-automatically moves your music, movies, photos, files, and Internet preferences, making the transition from PC to Mac as seamless as possible.
How much would you pay for a magical device that's Windows XP and Vista and offers blazingly not fast USB 2 transfer rates? A single non-plural portrait of Ulysses S Grant--$50.
