Adding Storage to iPhones

IOGear
It was just a few months ago when complaints were posted online about the limited memory provided to Apple iPhone subscribers and users.

The major problem with a 16GB and even 32GB iPhone becomes apparent when iOS 8 launched: if you want to install iOS 8, you need more disk space available than anyone would logically have spare if they have a 16GB or 32GB device. And don't even get me started on the situation facing people with 8GB iPhones.

Without a doubt, this space requirement is the reason why uptake has been much slower for iOS 8 this time round.

Apple appeared to have taken the right direction by eliminating the 32GB models of its most recent phones and tablets, but anyone who isn’t willing to pay a US$ 100 premium for extra storage is still out of luck. The issue is that Apple’s mobile devices don’t feature microSD card slots for expanded storage, but ZDNet has alerted some bloggers to an interesting alternative.

This is IOGEAR’s MediaShair Wireless Media Hub. You can plug an SD card, a USB flash drive or even an external hard drive into this hub and then connect to it through your mobile device. It has built-in WiFi and can share media with up to seven iOS or Android devices at once.

You can even connect the MediaShair to an Ethernet port and share the connection wireless through the device.

The MediaShair is also equipped with a battery that lasts up to 9 hours and can serve as a portable charging station for your various phones and tablets.

If you’re looking for an affordable way to multiply the storage of your mobile device, the MediaShair Hub is definitely worth a look. It usually costs US$ 99.95, but there are a few units left in stock on Amazon for under US$ 52.
