CONCLUSION

   Although certainly far from what I’d ever call groundbreaking the latest MobileLite Wireless by Kingston does offer a more wealthy set of features compared to the original Wi-Drive and in the end i think that's what will attract most potential buyers. So not only are you getting a wireless card/USB reader which can throw your android/iOS compatible devices basically as much storage space and data as you want but you can also use it to charge your smartphone while away from power sockets and you can also use it as a Wi-Fi range extender. Of course the internal battery is hardly enough to recharge most of the latest smartphones but it could keep it operational until you can find a socket (it did manage to charge my Huawei Honor almost 80%). Using it as a Wi-Fi range extender (although it's not a feature it's possible) may not do just as good as with regular range extenders but it works so as long as you are getting an extra feature for no extra cost that's fine by me. Now we did think about measuring the speed between the MobileLite Wireless and the Wi-Fi devices we used like the Huawei Honor but none of the apps we used was able to do that. We could test it as a regular card reader but on one hand that's not its job and on the other it's a USB 2.0 device so it wouldn't make any sense doing so.

   Unlike the original Wi-Drive the new MobileLite Wireless is aggressively priced (expected since it has no internal memory) and the current price tag of USD59.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 50Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) leaves you quite a bit of room to either purchase the amount of storage space you want in the form of a Micro SD card/USB Flash Drive or to just use what you already got without having to spend more in the process (who doesn't have at least one USB flash drive?). Now i would like to see a far larger battery in capacity so it could also be used to charge devices a lot more but that's something that may come in future versions. Personally i can't say that i use my smartphones or tablets for many different purposes since i like to keep things simple (i have computers for the really complicated stuff) but the MobileLite Wireless can really come in handy and since it doesn't really have any serious drawbacks it gets our Golden Award.
