iTwin
$99.99

- The iTwin looks like a double-sided USB key but is actually a device that you can use to share files between two computers wirelessly and securely.

- Each iTwin is actually two devices that plug in via USB.

- When the two are connected and inserted into a USB port, they are paired and a randomly generated string of numbers is generated to encrypt the devices.

- This string of characters is said to be so long that it is almost statistically impossible to crack.

- When one side of the iTwin is connected to a computer the other can be carried on the go to access files on that computer by plugging the other half into a second computer.

- Files can be copied or edited straight from the source, that way no copies are ever made.
