Upgrade Your iPhone or iPad’s Storage With Seagate GoFlex Satellite | Cult of Mac.
I’ve thought about an item like this when I was standing in line two April’s ago waiting for my iPad at Best Buy. What could enable me to buy the smallest device (16GB) without having to sacrifice a huge pool of storage? When I bought the device I was sure that someone would eventually come up with something. I was right, there were at least two apps:
- http://projectswithlove.com/streamtome/ – Stream To Me
- http://www.zumocast.com/ – ZumoCast
Both of these services allow you to place twin applications, one on your computer at home or at work and the other application on your iOS device. This design makes much more sense to me than the Seagate drive linked to above. If you’ve got access to the web, why not use it? Plus this way your data is more secure than some drive that can be stolen or confiscated. Both apps could arguably access every last shred of your content if you had a storage system big enough to handle all of it. Arguably way more than 500GB and you wouldn’t have to contend with a rather weak battery and wondering when the drive will stop working because it’s out of juice. Just having one device where you have to watch the battery is surely enough for anyone! I can’t see this option being useful when you have other options like Stream To Me or ZumoCast handy.
