Remotely connecting two computers is still a pretty big pain. It usually requires two parties jumping through a bunch of hoops to get things working. This includes each computer having the same software, using various passwords, and waiting on a connection. iTwin, a new startup launching today at TechCrunch50 aims to make the process entirely plug and play.

Basically iTwin is a matched pair of USB devices, that can be used to share information between two computers, securely, or as the manufacturer puts it a ‘Cableless Cable’.

iTwin is plugged into two PCs, and they are able to share data between each other over the Internet, if one is removed the connection is broken and the data sharing stops.

This could have a number of uses for business, who want to share data securely, and I am sure this is bound to take off, I think it is a great idea.

iTwin is due to go on sale next year for around $99.
