nowadays we got an exclusive look at that miShare unit we spotted final week, and it seems to do precisely what it says on the box. whether you missed it, the miShare is a little Linux-based device with a pair of iPod docking ports that can shuttle files from one iPod to another. We got to see it in action with a pair of nanos, and the operation was pretty painless — whether a little sluggish, they’re claiming about 500K a moment, at the low end of the USB 2.0 spectrum. The process involves plugging your iPods in and pushing the center button once they’re both mounted. You can choose on the miShare whether you want pictures movies or music, and the device will automatically transfer the final played or viewed item of that type. whether you

hold the button down for a moment it’ll instead transfer the iPod’s On-the-Go playlist. You’ll probably have a bit increasingly trouble getting the files you’ve received onto your computer (hint: you’ll want to enable manual library management) but directions are included to produce it as painless as possible. The miShare itself is battery powered, and can be charged with an included AC adapter. You should be able to pre-order the unit within a week, and shipments are set to start next month. The device has been designed and marketed from start to finish by a pair of guys that’d love to prepare out your suggestions, so be certain to sound off in the comments.
