iTwin – A USB file sharing solution

Have you ever imagined to connect two computers using a USB cable?; well I had, way before Bluetooth became available and wireless network connections where on the horizon, I tried; and without  success, to connect two computers using a simple USB cable, I even suggested my brother to create a USB network solution. Soon, I realized that just it was not going to happen, connecting them that way wont help me get any file transferred; So we had to relay on our RS232 network connection.

But since then things have change a lot,  and now that idea have become a reality (somehow): iTwin, is a device that allows to connect two computers via  USB connected device (on each computer) and share files, so far, this just looks like any other sharing solution out there; the interesting twist of this device is that it uses the internet connection as a funnel to deliver the information between the two computers, in other words; it’s like the two computer where connected by an invisible (actually Internet) USB cable. According to iTwin designers web site users have the same experience as if the were using a flash drive, no software installation, no logins or passwords but still the solution provides a secure connection between computers and if one of the devices is removed the connection is stoped.
