V.S.


Understanding iCloud

The first thing we must know

These services will benefit only within your own iDevices

Document share/Photo Stream/Cloud BackupApple provides a free 5GB capacity in iCloud. With network available, documents created by iWorks, Photo taken by iDevices, App and settings of iDevices will be stored on iCloud.

These services will benefit only within your own iDevices


Understanding iCloudAre these 3 features potential threads to i-FlashDrive ?

Document shareThe service let user who use iWorks (Page/Numbers/Keynote) sharing editing files between iDevices and Mac. But only with these supported App and internet access. (User have to own all these application on both iOS and Mac)

Photo StreamiCloud automatically keep the last 1000 photos (or in the last 30 days) taken by iDevices, and sync automatically to your own iDevices and Mac. The synchronization is through network.

iCloud BackupThis is a “PC free” service. iOS 5 devices will automatically sync with iCloud every once a day. Just like the Sync with iTunes, but it’s wireless to the cloud now. Photos and video in camera roll, Device settings and App data will be stored to the free 5GB capacity. These services will benefit only

How i-FlashDrive is differentIt’s the first flash-drive that is cross platforms

The USB supported almost all desktop OS, and at the other end the dock connector works with iPad, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch Gen4


What you’ll get only on i-FlashDrive ?

Direct File TransferSo in the end, when we’d like to transfer files with another person. The plug-unplug i-FlashDrive is still the simplest way.

Without networkAt all the file transfer when using i-FlashDrive, network is not required.

Free App for file managementThere’s a free App for this accessory that created a user interface for file management which most of us are familiar with. It has also built-in Music Play UI, Photo Import from CameraRoll, and voice recording. Those function that comes very handy in daily use.

How i-FlashDrive is different


To-do and not to-doCan we get these copyright content from iOS devices?

Apps installedIt’s is not allowed, because they’re considered copyright content. We cannot backup or export App to the external storage.

Music downloaded from iTunesIt’s is not allowed, because they’re considered copyright content. We cannot backup or export songs to the external storage. Even those songs were imported to iTunes library by yourself, Apple didn’t release any API for Apps to do so, in order to protect the copyright agreement.

Books purchasedIt’s is not allowed, because they’re considered copyright content. We cannot backup or export electronic copy of publish to the external storage.
