At first glance, iTwin might look like another novelty flash drive with a dual connector. Turns out it's actually latest R&D effort of a new Singapore-based start-up that promises to bring plug and play bi-directional remote access to the mass market. The company bearing the same name of their iTwin 'cableless USB network cable' plans to make file sharing dead easy even for the uninitiated. The iTwin basically splits into two identical dongles, which are already paired with a encryption key so they supposedly don't need password nor user ID to establish a secure connection. As the developers put it, iTwin is just like two ends of an invisible cable that pair two PCs together via Internet. The video demo shows other PC's drive icon magically pops up as soon as there's a confirmed link. There are still some questions left to be answered such as the underlying technology, scalability (i.e. 2 PC limitations) and physical security concerns. iTwin is planned to hit retail sometime in the first half of 2010 for $99, and of course, it will come in pair.
