One of the few if I may say shortcomings of the iPad is its very small storage space and this has greatly affected the use of many apps on the iPad. So with this issue in mind, UK giant retailer PC World has come up with an idea to augment the situation. In partnership with Livedrive, PC World has made available the iPad Media Streaming service which enables an iPad user to save up to a hundred GB of online data without compromising its internal data storage.
This offers a lot to current iPad users because it gives them the ability to store as many movies, documents, music, videos, and other downloadable items as they can. And the only thing one has to do to access and play what he or she stored is through live streaming by the use of Wi-Fi or 3G. And the whole setup is so simple which what is very generic on all Apple devices.
The price to pay for this amazing extra storage feature is an understandable a pound shy away from forty pounds a year, a considerably small price to pay for the huge storage space provided. Offered and can be bought at all PC World outlets across the United Kingdom, the new iPad Streaming service allows you to back up your PC or Mac stored files with a whopping 100GB of space. Just imagine the amount of data you can store in there. And you do not need to overload your iPad flash memory which will slow your iPad down since the files that you save will automatically become accessible anytime through wireless network such as Wi-Fi and 3G, as was mentioned earlier.
Now the complication begins with the new media streaming application’s requirement that has to have an iTunes account setup before he or she will be able to stream the data he or she stored and it is interesting to know that such an application is not yet available on the iTunes store.
What seems to be the dilemma of this all is that there are unconfirmed reports that Apple is coming up with an in-the-cloud iTunes application and what PC World has set up may create confusion and a serious rivalry between the two, using the same application at that. And the i-Tunes in-the-cloud app seems to be set up almost the same way as PC World’s new innovation, ability to stream music, photos, and videos from multiple sources.
