Isostick, the USB memory-optical drive

[Ishu Gupta]

These ISO images don't just apply for operating systems, it goes for ANY CD/DVD ISO image.

Really? BTW that software works for ANY iso too.

These features are not software-wise but they are built into the hardware, thus even more compatible.

OK. This software only copies the content of the live CD to the USB drive. ie there is no software installed on the usb drive.
On the other hand, your usb has a firmware that reports the usb as a cd rom. It uses something that mounts those ISO at boot too
Of course if you install multiple ISOs, both of them would need a separate botloader.

You don't have to install tonnes of bloatwares.

OK 1 software is not 'tonnes of bloatware'. AND unetbooting doesn't even needs to be installed. Its a portable exe with no dependencies.
I haven't used XBOOT so can't say about that.

AND BTW your isostick also has a software for configuration.

Even many windows functions can be replaced by tonnes of other softwares, that doesn't mean you shouldn't use it in the first place.

Who uses the windows Disk defragmentor?
Who uses Windows Defender?
Who uses Windows Disk Cleanup?

Let's say a case where you have to use something as a CD/DVD to make it work and you want to customize the contents without re-writing the whole CD/DVD, the USB comes in here too.

Are you even reading my posts?
The edited ISO you need to copy to your isostick can be installed to a normal USB via xboot too.
If you don't need to boot from that edited ISO, you don't even need to waste time copying it to the slow isostick. Just right click on the ISO and mount with daemon tools.



And you were saying I was giving crap, invalid arguments.

What if the other person is a computer administrator who wants to fix someone's sh1thole computer? That's where it comes in, IT IS NOT FOR THE AVERAGE USER.

So this is specifically designed for fixing sh1thole computers.I don't find any other use.

xboot isn't the same: it doesn't support ..

NOTE: Windows XP, VISTA ,7 install Disks are not supported.So do not try to add them.

YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) | USB Pen Drive Linux
This one does.
And
SARDU – Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) | USB Pen Drive Linux

And you don't need these automated softwares. This can be done manually too.

Just a means of selling flash at an expensive price. More profit.

Whatever this is this is certainly not worth the money. Its just too costly and provide features which are achievable with third party softwares and that too plenty of them so definitely not worth it. Just a marketing and advertising strategy for the company nothing else.

The only people who will need it are those with really old PCs which when sold second hand will fetch less than this isostick itself

$225 for a 32 GB stick is quite high considering it costs only $4 less than a 4th Gen iPod Touch 8 gb
iPod touch $229

Yes, mostly. Of course this is not worth the money. Worth the features/hardware, yes.

Guys, stop posting about "OHH THIS IZ ZOO COSTLY" "MAN, COSTLY I CANZ NOT AFFORD IT". Of course you can't, I never intended you to buy it straightaway, just as a news about the latest hardwares in the market. So if you can't respect it's features, please stop whining about it's price. It's the same as complaining about Mac/iGadgets outrageous price.

Just a marketing and advertising strategy for the company nothing else.

I'm not sure about that, for now, it's not targeted as a company, it's just a project funded by kickstarter. So, I guess it probably goals toward selling enough of these to start and fund their startup. But it's certainly not a advertising strategy.
