No, because Apple already patented iOriginality®]]>Jan 5th 2010 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/
On a serious note tons of devices have used the lowercase i. iPaq for one.]]>Jan 5th 2010 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/Just a wild guess. But the name of the company is "iomega". They also have a dandy logo with a giant lowercase "i" that they have been using for as long as I can remember, starting with those Zip drives. Which, by the way, were released in the 1990's, before Apple started using the "i" for their imac computers and ipod music players.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/Jan 5th 2010 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/Will it only be a "NAS" device if you have special software installed on your machine or is this a true NAS ?]]>Jan 5th 2010 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/Jan 6th 2010 5:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/Jan 6th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/for instance I bought an MP3030 media player that claims its a NAS. except that you can only copy files to or from it if you have software installed on your windows PC that sets up a special connection AND you can only manage that connection using the remote control and the TV it plugs into.
Its crap.
I want a real NAS that uses CIFS etc.]]>Jan 6th 2010 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/Network File Protocols Supported: CIFS/SMB/Rally (Microsoft), AFP/Bonjour (Apple), HTTP, HTTPS.
This is a real NAS. The software that comes on the cd doesn't actually need to be installed to use the device, it just makes it easier. As long as you can find the IP address of the unit, you can map the shares and access the interface. The software just makes that automatic.]]>Jan 9th 2010 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/Jan 5th 2010 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/Jan 5th 2010 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iomegas-iconnect-turns-thumb-drives-into-nas-drives-puts-it-al/
