Most USB 3.0 64 Gb flashdrives nowadays are around $30, so yes, 4 times as expensive just because it has a Lightning plug and an app is pretty expensive and it's only USB 2.0.

That's nuts! My $40 MobileLite sans 64 GB SD card is way cheaper! I think the card only cost me $25 or so, so even there, the whole package was about $65 or thereabouts. Also, I feel that the MobileLite Wireless is a better buy not just because it's cheaper, but because up to three people can use it to stream totally different content to their devices. And I think this will work even if there's a mix of OS's accessing content. Thanks, Ari On 11/16/14, John Diakogeorgiou <jdiakoge2...@gmail.com> wrote: > I agree with you.
