Re: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad
I would be cureious to know, could you use this drive to transfer books from bard, bookshare and audible to the ios device? Could you use it to transfer content to voice dream reader? -Original Message- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2014 12:08 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad Hi Andy, This drive has a Lightning port as well as a regular USB port. It uses the FAT32 file system and I don't see why USB 3.0 support For when you plug it into a PC or Mac is not possible. After all, they advertise it as a device you can use both ways and especially if you transfer large amounts of photos or videos the faster transfer speed would be useful. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy Baracco Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2014 11:10 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad This may be an issue of what protocol the iPhone supports as opposed to corner cutting on the part of Sandisk.

Re: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad
Holy crap! $120? That's nuts! My $40 MobileLite sans 64 GB SD card is way cheaper! I think the card only cost me $25 or so, so even there, the whole package was about $65 or thereabouts. Also, I feel that the MobileLite Wireless is a better buy not just because it's cheaper, but because up to three people can use it to stream totally different content to their devices. And I think this will work even if there's a mix of OS's accessing content. Thanks, Ari On 11/16/14, John Diakogeorgiou jdiakoge2...@gmail.com wrote: I agree with you.

In my opinion using cloud storage such as Dropbox, OneDrive or iCloud Drive is a better way to go especially now that prices for online storage are coming down. You can get 1 Terrabyte of OneDrive storage from Microsoft for $99 a year. Actually you are paying for Office 365 Home Premium which gives you a full licence for Office 2013 (and future Office versions) and the 1 Tb of storage is an added benefit. I just got an email from Dropbox where they want me to upgrade to Dropbox Pro which has all sorts of neat features and would also give me 1 Terrabyte of storage for $109 if I pay for the entire year.

RE: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad
Most USB 3.0 64 Gb flashdrives nowadays are around $30, so yes, 4 times as expensive just because it has a Lightning plug and an app is pretty expensive and it's only USB 2.0. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Arianna Sepulveda Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2014 10:35 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad Holy crap! $120? That's nuts! My $40 MobileLite sans 64 GB SD card is way cheaper! I think the card only cost me $25 or so, so even there, the whole package was about $65 or thereabouts. Also, I feel that the MobileLite Wireless is a better buy not just because it's cheaper, but because up to three people can use it to stream totally different content to their devices. And I think this will work even if there's a mix of OS's accessing content. Thanks, Ari On 11/16/14, John Diakogeorgiou jdiakoge2...@gmail.com wrote: I agree with you.

RE: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad
Hi Andy, This drive has a Lightning port as well as a regular USB port. It uses the FAT32 file system and I don't see why USB 3.0 support For when you plug it into a PC or Mac is not possible. After all, they advertise it as a device you can use both ways and especially if you transfer large amounts of photos or videos the faster transfer speed would be useful. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy Baracco Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2014 11:10 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad This may be an issue of what protocol the iPhone supports as opposed to corner cutting on the part of Sandisk.
