A Tablet Computer is a newer model of mobile computer with a touch-screen display that can access to the Internet (Wifi) and (cable - Micro USB or USB-C), runs on battery life (also on portable charger); with a stereo headphone jack. It displays photos, text files, plays large amount of MP3 Music files and longer hours of MP4 Video files.

A portable DVD player is a de-facto mobile device (it sells on amazon) that plays DVD, CD, VCD, DivX, MPEG-4, MP3 and JPEG formats; runs on battery life; with a stereo headphone jack.

A Smart-Phone is a mobile phone that can access to the Internet (Wifi) and (phone cable - Micro USB or USB-C), has a touch-screen user interface, plays limited amount of MP3 Music files and shorter clips of MP4 Video files, and sometimes it is equipped with a camera.  Some of the popular smart-phones are personal digital assistant (PDA), handheld media player (MP3 Player: iPod, Apple Tablet: iPad), and mobile GPS navigation unit.

Android smartphones have used the USB Micro-B connector for both data transfer and charging.

USB-C cables are also used to transfer power - they're commonly used to charge portable devices, smartphones, laptops, and cameras.

A USB drive is a data storage device with an integrated Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. It functions much like a floppy disk (200MB), CD (700MB), or DVD (4.7GB), except the device is smaller, and the storage goes up from DVD(4.7GB) to USB(4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and more).

A Memory Card Reader is a device for accessing, transferring digital photos and music files between various memory cards. The multi-card reader needs to be compatible with the most popular types of memory card formats.

For Example: SanDisk SD card(4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and more) is much like a USB, except the physical device is even smaller. Many cameras, camcorders, or tablets uses SanDisk SD card for additional storage.

For Example: download one MP4 movie (from youtube), it's about 275 to 350 Mb file size, runs 100 to 120 minutes long.  8 movies is about 2GB in memory.

A 8GB SanDisk SD card can store up to 32 movies!

Projection to Large Screen: Once the digitized film is mounted on a USB drive or a SanDisk SD card, it can be transportable to other devices (such as a computer, a mobile phone, a tablet, or a projector).
