BENCHMARKS AND PERFORMANCE
Before we begin, here are the devices used for testing the Kingston MobileLite Wireless:
DEVICES
– Apple iPod Touch 3rd-Generation 32GB
– Sony VAIO T13 Custom Touchscreen UltraBook
– Samsung Galaxy Note II
– Google/ASUS Nexus 7
STORAGE
– Kingston 32GB Class 10 MicroSDHC Flash Card
– Kingston 16GB DT108 Flash Drive
The Kingston MobileLite Wireless advertises “up to three different devices streaming at the same time”. We decided to use four playing a 2.20GB Blu-Ray rip of The Avengers in 1080p H.264 in MPEG-4, and two playing a 9.3GB Blu-Ray rip of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 1080p H.264 in MKV format.
The iPod Touch simply shows the files through the app. You can either manually find them in the ‘Files’ tab, or use the other layout buttons at the bottom. They will categorize the different files on the drive, but will only show compatible playable iOS files:
While the Android MobileLite version will categorize the same way as the iOS, it will not play a video file in its own player if the size exceeds 2GB. For iOS this restriction is not present, but for Android the app will force video streaming on a different app:
The Android devices can use MXPlayer to open the MP4, or skip the app altogether and access the MobileLite Wireless via the Google Chrome mobile browser:
The VAIO T13 running Windows 8 Pro on the other hand has no software or app, hence video can be played in Chrome using VLC:
