Remote desktop while a very handy and useful technology is so old. Something new, exciting, and fresh needs to come along however. But what could take the place of something so ubiquitous? iTwin would like you to consider them as a potential candidate. iTwin is a USB stick that one person shares with his bestest friend or colleague as to allow them to securely share information (much like remote connection) between two computers over the web. The possibilities of such a device of course are easy to see. With the iTwin, remotely connecting two computers is drop dead simple and, according to CEO Lux Anatharaman and COO Kal Takru, incredibly secure.
Upon plugging in the iTwin, the two devices sync a private key keeping spying eyes out, after which, the two devices are ready to go with no need to log in with any type of ID or cumbersome software downloads. If you ever find yourself in the hairy position of having lost your half of the deal, a simple call to iTwin can deactivate the lost half so that your data remains forever safe. Initial launch has iTwin walking the streets of Singapore first with a U.S. and Europe launch roughly six months later. If you are the type that would warrant such a device, does the $99 asking price seem right?
