We have tried watch Blu-ray, DVD, HD Video movies in the iPad, really enjoyed, and today I will provide a Gelivable way! We sure that the same problem: iPad HDD is too small! Simply can’t meet the needs of our growing entertainment ( movies / music apps games eBook more).

Yeah, iPad memorys is too small, the iPad 16G, after installed several Apps or your favorite Games, and put several 720p HD movies, iPad capacity will left. Apple said: Recommended to buy a maximum of 64G iPad, just expensive than 200 dollars (Today I can help you save the 200 dollars.)

Watch a movie in the iPad, and do not eat its memory capacity, who can help us to achieve? Wi-Fi + Air Video can do it! OK, not much gossip said.

Our target: Enjoy Blu-ray/DVD, HD Video on iPad with Air Video – not eat memorys

Air Video for iPad, yes, that is it!

It can put all the computer through the Wi-Fi video streaming on your iPad (also supports Apple’s iPhone, iPod Touch). Weird, since we need not worry about iPad low capacity.
