One of the most common demands among users of iPhone o iPad It is usually being able to expand the memory of your device, and since these do not have a memory card slot the issue is complicated, but we are close to having a solution
Kickstarter or the solutions factory
This solution comes, as usual in recent times, from the hand of a Kickstarter project. The company HYPER, responsible for HYPER juice external batteries for Macbook e iPad, is now committed to expanding memory and has proposed a collective initiative in Kickstarter to bring this product to the market.
El iStick It is a USB memory (with USB 2.0 interface) with two ends, on the one hand you can see a traditional USB connector with which to connect it to the computer and thus transfer the files that we later want to use on our device iOs. On the other hand, it has a Lightning connector compatible with new generation Apple devices
iStick makes the difference
One of the things that stands out about this product is that it is the first USB memory with the certificates MFI, something unusual and that means that it is a product officially authorized by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and therefore it is supposed to meet their (very demanding) quality standards.
Another feature to highlight of iStick is that when connecting it to our devices iOS It has the ability to play its content directly from memory via streaming, since it has its own Full HD video decoder (MVK, AVI and WMV files among others) and the same happens with audio files or documents (Word , Excel, Power Point or PDF). We also have the option of transferring these files to the device and playing them from it, for this we will have our own application in the App Store with which it will be very easy to make said file transfer.
The advantage it has iStick it is also being able to use it as a memory extension, to save everything that does not fit on our device as well as being able to make backup copies of our files, contacts or a complete backup of the device without having to resort to the cloud or go through iTunes. In the following video you can see how it works iStick.
IStick capabilities and pricing on Kickstarter
The device will go on the market with 5 memory variants and in 2 colors (black and white) and perhaps one of the drawbacks is its price. It must be said that the project has already far exceeded its objective, which had been placed in the U.S. dollar 100,000, but whoever wants to can still make their contribution to take one of the iStick. The device will be compatible with iPhone 5 / 5s / 5c, 4th generation iPad, iPad mini, iPad mini with Retina display, 5th generation iPad Air and iPod Touch.
Prices:
- iStick 8 Gb = 65 $
- iStick 16 Gb = 85 $
- iStick 32 Gb = 99 $
- iStick 64 Gb = 149 $
- iStick 128 Gb = 199 $
The company has established these prices for all those who collaborate in the collective initiative of Kickstarter, because those who buy it later will see an increase in their prices. To all this we must add $ 10 shipping if we order it from outside the United States.
As a curiosity we also highlight a model "Premium", for the wealthiest, which consists of a iStick of gold and 128 Gb of capacity for those who, during their collection process, contribute 1000 dollars or more.
The company hopes to be able to start manufacturing them by the middle of next June and begin their distribution by the end of that same month, although due to the fact that they have already far exceeded their financing objective, it is not ruled out that these deadlines are advanced.
