Need more memory for your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch?

Okay, so you bought an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and you didn’t buy enough memory. There’s no way to add memory inside the device, but there is a new solution from Kingston. It called the Kingston Wi-Drive and it lets you add 16GB or 32GB of external storage. The case itself is slim and lightweight and almost looks like you’re carrying a second iPhone. We already covered the Seagate GoFlex Satellite, which lets you add a lot more memory for the same, or even less money, but the Kingston Wi-Drive uses embedded flash memory. So it’s smaller and you don’t have to worry about jarring a moving hard drive. You start by charging the Kingston Wi-Drive. Once charged, you add your photos, movies, music, files, etc. by clicking and dragging to your device via your desktop or laptop computer. When the Wi-Drive is plugged via a USB port, it will show up as an additional drive.  Once you have content transferred, download the free Wi-Drive app onto your iOS device. The app will allow you to access all the available Wi-Drive content on your iPhone, iPad, or in my case, the iPod Touch. Check the Kingston website for the supported formats. I added some MP4 video, which played fine, but it won’t play WMA files. Kingston says the battery will last for around four hours of constant use. One of the neat things about the Kingston Wi-Drive is that you can connect multiple devices to it – up to three of them. You charge it and transfer files via a mini USB connection. It Apple iOS only for now, but an Android app is due out soon. Shop Amazon for the lowest price. Right now on Amazon I see the 16 GB unit for about $80 and the 32GB one sells for just under $100.
