iTwin Cableless USB Drive

The iTwin Cableless USB Drive is a revolutionary PC-to-PC USB connection device slated for release in the first quarter of 2010. Typically, connecting two PCs to share data requires meeting a plethora of eligibility requirements: the same software, same passwords, etc. Suffice it to say, a PC to PC connection is not a Plug-n-Play process. The iTwin Cableless USB Drive aims to overcome this debilitating situation by allowing each end of its dual-USB drive to plug into a separate computer, after which each dongle relies on the specific PC’s Internet connection to establish a bi-directional interface between the two. To use it, users simply plug one side into a PC, snap off the other side, and then play that side into another PC. The whole process REQUIRES that each PC is connected to the Internet.
