Hi, what if i have an app on my ipad that allow you to play .avi or .wmv files,.

how can i transfer the movie from the external hardrive to the particular app on ipad ? Or I can only play .mp4 ?

@savagecub - So it's "Yes" you can store them. But "No" you can't view them from the Hyperdrive.

@savagecub - The files are not viewed on the HyperDrive itself. What it does it PULL the data from the drive onto the ipad and then view it. Go figure.

Will Hyperdrive store and allow me to view PDF files via an Ipad pdf reader app ??? My data isn't just songs, photos and videos.

I can hardly use my ipad's 16 gigs :p

I feel like without having ifile this is useless because you can't play anything directly from the drive, you have to import everything to view it.

Guys, it also works with any external hard drive ! just need the wire to connect to the iPad memory car reader, that's all !!!

can you move content from the iPad onto the Hyperdrive?

I just received my hyperdrive. It's a nice enough device however when I upload a bunch of videos to the ipad, they appear in the browser without file names. That creates two problems. (1) if I only want to upload certain videos, I have no idea which ones to select, and (2) if I transfer a huge number of videos (say for example a TV series) there is no way to search an episode by name. You have to keep randomly clicking on movie clip icons in the ipad until you get one that you want to watch.

will this work with the new ipad2?

Does the ipad play the movie off of the drive or is it copying the file from the hard drive to the ipad and then playing it?

[antonyarthuredmunds]

after you have uploaded a movie to the ipad after youve watched the movie can you delete it from the ipad or do you have to plug your ipad into a pc to delete ??

can u put files on here or just pictures and videos???

[TheMariokills]

So I can put movies on it and watch it on my iPod? Does it work for apps too?

[lazytechguysdotcom]

@TheMariokills - In a word. Yes.

[TheMariokills]

Can you connect the hard drive to an iPod touch?

[radcastrodotcom]

@TheMariokills - Yes you can.

[lazytechguysdotcom]

@TheMariokills - Yes. We can confirm that.
