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.

Just had a look at this drive and this is another example where a company 
slaps a big price tag on an item for iOS devices knowing people will pay. In 
a CNET review I read the 64 Gb version will be $120 and while this sounds 
like well-made product, it still is just a USB ThumbDrive with a Lightning 
port. Furthermore it is only USB 2.0 where especially with USB drives of 
that size it is hard to even find anything nowadays which isn't USB 3.0 and 
for a product with a premium price this at least would have been a nice 
feature.
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.

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.

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,

I agree with you. Even though this sounds nice I think that it is
overpriced and not worth the money especially considering that it uses
old technology.

RE: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad

2014-11-16 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Just had a look at this drive and this is another example where a company slaps 
a big price tag on an item for iOS devices knowing people will pay. In a CNET 
review I read the 64 Gb version will be $120 and while this sounds like 
well-made product, it still is just a USB ThumbDrive with a Lightning port. 
Furthermore it is only USB 2.0 where especially with USB drives of that size it 
is hard to even find anything nowadays which isn't USB 3.0 and for a product 
with a premium price this at least would have been a nice feature.
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.

Sieghard

This looks like an interesting product. The key thing though is whether it's 
app is accessible. If not are their other ways to use files such as drop box. 
This is definitely one to watch.

This looks like an interesting product. The key thing though is
