I'm looking for a product to take on a trip where I will not have easy access to a lap top or to wifi. I'm looking to extend the storage capacity of my iphone 4 and ipad mini. Can I transfer photos &amp; videos directly onto the usb stick without any need...

yes! that is the purpose. the i-flashdrive has connections for apple on one end and usb on the other with 16gb storage inbetween. really great device.

Yes you can use a thumb drive and yes you can have file folders. Also you can connect to iPhone and iPods and get full access to music on them (Artists, Playlists, etc). Also, this gives you a port to power your devices. Personally, I have an iPod in the glovebox (connected to rear USB) and use the front to connect / charge my phone.One note, personally after installing I would have rather gone with a unit that has two rear ports instead of one in the front. This would allow me to put the plug anywhere I want via an extension cord. This would then have a cleaner look than having the cable come out of the front of the unit.

Yes. When you install the Wi-Drive app and connect to the Wi-Drive with wi-fi, you can move photos, music, videos, documents, etc. back and forth between the Wi-Drive and your iPad or iPhone. The Wi-Drive is essentially a back door into your iPad/iPhone bypassing iTunes and Apple's "our way or the highway" approach in designing their gear. The Wi-Drive creates its own memory partition on the iPad/iPhone that is accessed via the app. Its one of the handiest gadgets I've ever owned. Take that, Steve Jobs, wherever you languish now!

With the "WD Photos" iOS app you can upload to the drive from anywhere. I'm not sure about the PC/Mac capabilities while mobile.

No. Ipad generally doesn't come with USB port. What is more, you need to install the driver software to acquire images. I have a windows laptop for this purpose.

I guess yes , but i never tried it , I red about it ,connect to wi-drive wifi network then just open your browser and write down the ip address then you'll see the same menu as if it's an iPad ,..... but way you need this if you have a USB connection available ?!!!! , much faster and charging , The Wi-Drive idea is additional storage for devices with no USB socket

If you have something that has a usb charger, you could use the other port to charge that device (depending upon what that device is). I plugged in a little rechargeable travel charger into it, and it started charging, but my iPhone didn't charge. It also doesn't connect your device to the computer. So it doesn't appear all that useful, but I think it depends on what you're plugging into it. Any kind of drive I don't think is going to connect, but some chargers would work.

Yes it is without going thru a computer. I bought the Apple SD card adapter for the iPad, hooked it up to the iPad, took the SD card out of he camera, put it into the adapter and after a wait, depending on the photos in your SD card - the photos loaded into my iPad. It was great as I was able to view the photos that I took everyday that eveneing while I was on holiday.

I'm not sure that can be done, althought there may be an iPad guru out there who can help. I just take pictures & video off the iPad is to plug it into my computer using the USB connection cable that comes with the iPad. You can certainly download and manage all your pictures easily that way, but you probably don't have a netbook/computer on the cruise. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

This device gives you the option to add more storage ( USB External hard drive/ USB drive etc and to add maybe a usb hub so that you can do more with your device. I hope this answers your question :)

This will not connect directly to an Ipad. You will need to add a standard USB connection to the proprietary connection of your Ipad. If you simply want to transfer SD card info to/from device there are a lot of better options

No and it is not good on the Internet. You can use a USB had or thumb drive but t It doesn't do much else.

Not directly. You have a USB cable that allows you to plug the tablet into a computer. What I have found is even easier is to use the "cloud" to transfer files to my computer then if I want to transfer that file to a flash drive. Your tablet comes with the "Dropbox" application, which works great. Another favorite cloud app I use is Google "Drive". By using cloud app's the flash drive is becoming a tool I rarely have to use.

No, as far as I know you have to use the app to move anything into the drive using it as a stand alone drive. I originally wanted to use it on locations and such but data transfer is slow and the interface is horrendous. I'm sticking to my laptop and cabled drives for the time being.

I haven't stored games on it. But I assume u can since I have stored movies and all my pics on it. It's a wireless flash drive so I assume so. I love it since I have a ipad and now I can transfer stuff without plugging into my laptop. Really saved me when I was on a trip and was able to transfer my pics onto it.

I just use a usb-attached cheapy. Works great for me (which is rarely). The brand is LG. Portable Super Multi Drive. Had it quite a while, so it may likely be no longer available

Yes you can except, you need use one that does not require power, some uSB Drives require more power and won't work. U can use the micro sd or the regular SD card, it should work fine.
