Replacement iPod cable transforms it into a backup drive, kind of
The weird thing is this. I’m not sure if I’m reading it right, so let me quote:
Simply connect your iPhone or iPod to the Clickfree Transformer, then connect it to your computer and backup will automatically begin. There is no software to install or setup and no manual to read.
Uhh, don’t we get to choose what we want to back up? I’ve got a couple terabytes scattered around and I don’t want it just picking willy nilly. A small front-end would be wise. Maybe they just left it out of the press release.
The plain white version will set you back $50, which I think is pretty expensive for something that can be done with software. The black “SE” version will work with regular USB drives as well as iPods, and costs $90. Either I’m missing something here, or these things are charging a lot of money for almost nothing.
