Verbatim MediaShare Home Network Storage Solution Unveiled

Consumer Friendly Device Creates a Brand-New Multimedia Storage and Sharing Experience with Innovative Features and Most Straightforward User Interface Available

Verbatim Americas, LLC, the information storage pioneer and computer peripherals leader, introduces MediaShareTM, a home network storage solution designed to efficiently help consumers consolidate, preserve and share all their content on one dependable, high-performance device. Whether seamlessly transferring documents directly onto the unit or uploading vacation photos from a remote location, Verbatim's MediaShare brings file storage and media sharing to the next level.

"Many homes today have more than one computer, creating the need for consumers to share or access their digital content from either the comfort of a living room or sitting in a café or classroom," said Ron Hanafin, Verbatim Product Manager. "With a user interface and design that creates a more enjoyable experience, MediaShare is straightforward for anyone to set up and start saving their important data quickly and easily. From here it only takes a couple of clicks to easily access files, listen to music, or share photos with friends and family."

MediaShare stands apart from other consumer network storage products with both hardware and software features that meet users' needs in several key areas:

o Anytime, Anywhere Access - Remotely access MediaShare to view photos, play music, download or upload files from any internet-connected computer.
o Content Sharing - Seamlessly upload and share photo albums directly to social networking sites such as Facebook and Flickr. MediaShare also allows users to create albums and automatically email links to family and friends who can view or download photos directly over any internet enabled computer.
o Store and Save - Using the unique Easy Transfer button, consumers can upload content directly to the device from any portable hard drive, flash drive or single slot card reader connected to the front USB port. MediaShare also supports Apple Time Machine for Mac users or Windows Backup allowing users to backup content located on a networked computer.
o Multimedia Streaming - Easily stream music on the unit to iTunes users on any computer, Mac or Windows, connected to the home network. MediaShare also can be used to display photos or play music on a flat screen TV through DLNA enabled devices such as Digital Media Players, Playstation 3 or XBox360TM.
o User Interface - The simplest and most user-friendly system available, providing a flawless experience in retrieving, storing and sharing files.
