I get this exact service for 'free' from my iptv dongles with security built in.
All that for US$30.
Plus I can watch TV from my home country. They will be dead in the time it takes to burn their VC moola, if they can find a VC crazy enough to pump in money.

This device assumes too many things, a user will forget to bring a file but remember to bring the other half of the itwin. And remember to remove it from the remote PC.
A person who cannot remember password. Okay. Who do I write the cheque to?

Disrupt the storage market - ha ha ha. Try transferring a few gig and you won't use this device anymore.

itwin is a good one for using file sharing. But its a costly one though.

Mike Riley: Thanks - the 5,000 miles issue wasn't mentioned in the article.

Asowe, you must know you cannot share folders over different networks unless you set up a VPN or similar virtual network. So across the street or around the world, this is a good answer.

Leadseexplorer, you can't assume that a $15 USB memory key is going to be big enough for everyone's file transfers; you also can't assume that those are the only conditions under which this would be used. How about accessing your friend's DVD drive 5,000 miles away. Further, again you're not seeing that this isn't a "walk over and pass it along" scenario: the product allows you to SKIP physical transferance, and be anywhere... on a different network.

I guess we will keep on using a cheap $15 USB Memory stick for file exchange.

needing internet access is not exactly cable-less ..... and why not just use shared folders, if in xp, vista ..
