Kingston specs: "Maximum Write Speed: 15 MBps"
I can confirm that spec is correct.

The Monster Digital one does not specify write speed, so it might not be much better.

I'm pretty sure that it can't be used at both ends simultaneously and it would probably damage something. There's no conceivable reason why you would do that!

Are they taking a page out of Sears book? Sheesh. I hate paying for shipping to a store. The Source doesn't do it that way, they offer free shipping to the store. Sears calls it an administration fee though, but it seems silly to me for them to make a paying customer (who essentially pays their wages by purchasing goods) has to pay for administration outright when an item is shipped to a store. Re: Staples delivery free over $45, can you tack on an itunes card, or xbox live card, if you use those? No need to go back in for any returns that way.

That being said, I really like using my meenova with a micro sd card, it is very small indeed. http://www.meenova.com/ $13 USD includes shipping. You can also purchase something similar on ebay but it is big. Those ones are only $1.50 or so.

Edited: I should add, I am not certain, but do tablets/phones need to be rooted to use a meenova? I was using stickmount with mine, my tablet at the time I was using it on, was a rooted tablet. Seems to me that in order for the device to be seen by the phone or tablet, that it may need to be rooted. Can anyone answer this? Thanks.

Didn't think about this work-around. Hope they sell Google Play cards. Want to use this on my T100 and avoid bringing my OTG cable. The keyboard has a regular USB port, but I try to avoid using the keyboard as much as possible.

Update: Didn't see any Google play cards. But they did have Petro-Can and Esso gas cards. Always need gas.

You don't need it, it's OTG-capable already. The body of the stick slides to reveal either the micro-usb end for your phone/tablet or a full-sized usb for your computer.

This is what the Kingston one looks like on my Moto G. Imagine that huge Monster Digital one sticking out the bottom of the phone!

I don't know much about these OTG USB Flash Drive. Are these for Androids only or can they be used with BlackBerry Passport and/or Windows phone (Nokia Lumia 1020)?

I see what you're saying about the size, but whether it's this or the monster one, it's still something that's sticking out. And in terms of use-cases, I would presume you'd only want to stick in one of these sticks to either transfer files (which would mean you just remove it when you're done) or it you're watching a movie (so you'll be holding it pretty stationary or propping it down on a table). Personally, those would be my use-cases so I'd just want to make sure I get the one that's most reliable and faster (seems to be the monster one).

That's just the standard Android Gallery app. It works with all the standard apps. Plug it in and the content on it appears in the related apps a few seconds later.

Both the Monster Digital and the Kingston have the two connectors (full-size USB and microUSB) at opposite ends. The Kingston has a rotating plastic cap to cover the micro-USB end, but I just removed it as unnecessary. The Monster has a cover that slides back and forth I think - exposes full-size USB at one end or microUSB at the other end.
