128GB in the palm of my hand

Check out this little rascal. I got it as part of a flash sale from OfficeMax. A PNY 128GB flash drive for mere pennies per gig. I remember one of the first flash drive I ever got was 128MB and I thought that was a staggering amount of space! The amount of documents you could store was out of this world. When the 512MB came out I was floored. When we hit 1GB that was more space than you could use up at the time. You could backup your computer to it. Not too long ago we hit 16GB, then 32 and then 64. I have two 64GB drives and that’s enough to carry more movies and music than you can watch in a week. I could fit an entire season of Dexter, Breaking Bad and Criminal Minds on there with plenty of room left over. And now, 128GB. Once again, you could backup a computer to this thing. I […]

AirDisk Pro turns your iPad into a Wireless Flash Drive

I’ve written about AirDisk Pro before, but I find myself using it more and more so I thought it was worth revisiting. One of the complaints/wishes of the iPad or iPhone is the ability to use it like a flash drive. You have 32 or 64Gb just sitting and wouldn’t it be great if you could user that space to store files. Previously, you needed iTunes and a USB sync cable to pull off that little bit of magic, but apps like AirDisk make all that obsolete. You connect to AirDisk using a browser, then drag and drop the files you want. There is no need to select the files one and at time and wait until they’re done. Grab a list and they will all be transferred over. This is perfect for grabbing PDF files or Doc files from work. It’s also hellishly convenient when you need to grab training materials or the latest update to one of the […]

AirDisk Pro – Wireless Flash Drive – Free for Easter!

This is one of my favorite utilities right now, and not only did it get an update, they’ve dropped the price to FREE for Easter! Now that’s a heck of a gift! If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to transfer files to the iPad this is the way to go. This app is a fantastic buy at $0.99, so getting it for free is one hell of a thing! If you haven’t download a copy, you best get a move on. AirDisk Pro – Wireless Flash Drive

AirDisk Pro gets update and jumps to $1.99

I knew it would happen, the price of AirDisk Pro is already on the ride. I grabbed this app for $0.99 and think it’s fantastic for quickly getting docs and photos onto the iPad or iPhone. But, 99 cent apps don’t last forever and AirDisk Pro is going up in price. If you haven’t grabbed a copy you better get a move on. Like a lot of other great apps, GoodReader, these introductory prices don’t last forever and once the word gets out, the price goes up and stays there. I grabbed GoodReader when it was $0.99 and use that app all the time. I made several posts about it and then watched as the price crept up to $4.99; the same price it is today. And GoodReader has been a wonderful investment. Plus, AirDisk Pro and GoodReader beautifully together. I’m sure you’ve got a few extra coins lying around in the couch. Round them up and grab this app. […]

AirDisk Pro and Notability – Now that works nicely

I had a great time transferring files over to AirDisk Pro last night. I sent over a couple Top Gear episodes and a bunch of PDF files.The Top Gear episodes played fine and copying them over that easily was pretty cool. But once I had the PDF files in AirDisk Pro I opened them up in Notability, which is a new note taking and PDF reading/annotating app I just bought. Notability lets you write notes using the keyboard as well as through handwriting. You can jot down ideas and sketch out pictures. That part alone is pretty sweet. But you can also load up PDF files. You can highlight text, write in the margins, add your own text using the keyboard and mark it up as you see fit. I loaded up a 500+ page PDF and found reading and highlighting to be very easy. You can hide away the menus and there is a great palm rest feature that […]
