I am considering making a replacement for the DexDrive. Normally I wouldn't think about this right now, since I'm working on Kupid, but the work and research I'm doing for this special Kupid project (which I haven't officially announced yet) means that I'm learning a lot about the same things that would be necessary to create and sell a DexDrive replacement device. So now is as good a time as any to at least start thinking about it.

So - what features, capabilities, etc. would you like to see in a replacement for the DexDrive? Ideas? Suggestions?

The more input I get now, the better the final product will be if and when I complete it.

USB, easy file transfer, KUPID compatibility (lol, jk).

I figure as long as it would transfer via USB, it'd be fine.

Yeah, I'm already planning on making it USB.
Well, it would be possible to put everything in one case, and it would save the customer money if they are going to buy both Kupid & this DexDrive replacement (DDR as a temp name until I figure out a better one).

Since Kupid 2.0 will likely be using an Atmel AVR MCU, and so will the DDR, it would be cheaper to put everything into one case using one MCU rather than having two separate cases, with two separate MCUs, etc. Building it as a single unit would mean that the overall price would be reduced by $20-30 over buying both separately.

So, maybe I could offer three things:

• Kupid 2.0 - $35
• DDR - $60 (estimated)
• Kupid 2.0 Ultimate with Built-In DDR - $65-75 (estimated)
