Why is everything branded with an 'i' these days? We don't know. But what the iTwin lacks in naming creativity, it more than makes up for in usefulness. Think of it as the remote desktop taken to another—waaaaayyy more simple—level.
iTwin allows you to transfer files easily and securely between two machines as if they were connected with a real-life cable. It's like having remote desktop access, but this is done completely with hardware!
Well, the iTwin does get help from your internet access, but none of your files are ever stored online. They just move seamlessly from one machine to the next.
Setup is a breeze (You can check out the video here, if you can stand to see Mac machines running the Windows OS). You just plug the two attached iTwin plugs into one machine, setup a folder for file transfer, and then plug one half of the iTwin into the next machine. Voila! Instant portal to your home desktop from work!
Expect the iTwin to launch in early 2010 for around $99.

OK, so they (or you) illustrate the iTwin with two iMacs next to each other, but the iTwin only supports windows.
and if you see in their drawing, they are "running" windows either through bootcamp or parallels, which seems like it would work just fine.
I don't see why they chose imacs either, but their illustration is technically correct.
The prefix 'i' gained popularity from Apple's iMac and related third-party accessories, when it was first launched in 1998. (has it really been 11 years?)
