iTwin Reinvents the USB Drive for PC/ Mac Users

Singapore / Boston, MA  – Sept. 19, 2011 –  iTwin, creator of the award-winning iTwin USB device that enables users to privately access, share and edit their files and media from anywhere in the world, is excited to announce compatibility with Mac OS X (Lion and Snow Leopard).  Now both PC and Mac users can effortlessly share files via iTwin, a device that fits into the palm of a hand. 

iTwin is a revolutionary Plug’N’Play USB device that allows two online computers to share military-grade encrypted data from anywhere in the world. Comprising two identical parts, iTwin can be activated on any computer with an internet connection, and files from that computer can be shared anywhere the matching half, or “twin” goes.

Other iTwin benefits include:

• State of the Art Security  – iTwin uses hardware-based two-factor authentication and military grade Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 bit encryption to protect all data communication. When two halves of the iTwin are paired, the owner is sent a Remote Disable Code via email, which can be used in the event one half of the iTwin is lost or stolen.
• No Storage Limit – Files reside on the shared computers, not the iTwin device itself, so capacity is only limited to the size of each shared computer’s hard drive (and any connected drives).    There are also no monthly storage fees, as compared with cloud storage and remote access software.
• Ease of Use  – Simply Plug’n’Play, no setup or configuration is necessary.  Just connect two computers (Mac or PC) with internet access and iTwin enables file transfer anywhere in the world. As new features and enhancements are rolled out, free updates are install automatically.
