Get Your Squirt On: miShare
OK, I admit it, the Zune is pretty cool. The first generation was far from sexy, but the second gen was definitely a step in the right direction. I was surprised how easy the OS was to operate, and the actual interface had a pretty cool look. The Zune could also do a few things the iPod couldn't, such as the "Social" (file sharing). A few aftermarket solutions have come out over the last few years that allow file sharing between iPod, and one of the latest is the miShare. One thing to note: it does not currently work with the iPhone or iPod Touch, although miShare is working on a downloadable fix.
The miShare connects two iPods together via the dock connector, and allows file transfer of music files, pictures, videos, playlists, and photo albums. The miShare can even transfer DRM-encrypted files, but in order to listen to them they'll have to be unlocked by the original owner once you connect your iPod to iTunes. The transfer speed is somewhat slow. miShare claims 1MB/second, but actual tests have shown 500kb/s which means your average length song would take about 10 seconds to squirt. Not too bad.
