the dobox with its own router would be good for a presentation in a congested wi - fi area so you can have your own little unclogged network —but not necessarily projected from the dobox ' s hdmi port , given that audio out is through a headphone jack and not hdmi .
“that is a teaser image for the developers , what they can do with the dobox’s open source sdk , ” he told digital trends . “for example : you can play videos from the dobox , so the oculus can be used as “monitor” [ sic ] for 3d videos . ”

mtn nigeria has partnered with dobox , a nigerian indigenous startup company to provide customers access the latest blockbusters , premieres and most exclusive movies on mobile devices .
the dobox advertises itself as a way to use a keyboard and a mouse on an ios device . it ' s not quite that simple , though .
customers will be able to access the feature by subscribing to the mtn dobox app to rent premium movies for a specific duration – without further use of data .
through an iphone app , the dobox can create its own wi - fi network supplied by bandwidth from an existing wireless source , or from the ethernet port .
at the moment , on the iphone , there doesn ' t appear to be a way to get files out of the dobox to another app , like a pdf reader . to circumvent this , a number of file viewers have the ability to connect to an smb share directly , and connecting them directly to the dobox works .
real tool of sales support , application dobox mobile engie simulates a loan offer enhanced , adapted to projects and financing needs of improvements in customer habitat . the dobox mobile engie provides funding approach by the monthly repayment envisaged by the client to achieve its future work . the benefits of mobile dobox engie for professionals : - a simple to use tool - an automatic update schedules to offer the best credit offers permanently - a food to the documents necessary for the creation of the credit agreement the benefits of mobile dobox engie for customers : - an immediate simulation of the financing best suited to their project work - a loan increased offer * * application reserved for partners engie * *
the dobox has multiple ports to connect an internet cable , flashdrives , hard drives , keyboard , printers , tvs , projectors , monitors or speakers , and use them wirelessly .
you can backup all your photos , videos and documents , and share them with others wirelessly and securely offline . dobox has an internal storage and micro sdhc memory card reader .
one of the biggest problems we could see arising with dobox , however , is its reliance on third - party developer support for many of its advertised functions . the feature that allegedly “turns your ipad or iphone into a macbook pro , ” is still in development , molnar told us . if it’s not completed in time for the dobox launch , or worse yet , if it doesn’t come out at all , the only way we’ll see remote macos access is if some developer decides to make use of the open - source dobox sdk .
when this happens , airtel will become the third nigerian telco to deploy dobox in the over - the - top content play that has been building among nigerian telcos these past years .
the dobox was designed with a slew of features intended to make life easier for travelers using ipad or iphones . appleinsider examined one of the first produced after a successful kickstarter campaign .
got to move files to an ipad ? using the dobox and its app is a good solution —but transferring the files via itunes filesharing may be better , depending on what you need .
- exactly when will i get my dobox ? - unfortunately we can ' t yet tell you for sure , but we are doing everything to be able to ship them all in june .
with two usb ports , hdmi out , micro usb charging , a headphone jack , and an ethernet port , the company says its dobox “turns your ipad or iphone into a macbook pro , ” according to its kickstarter page . while that sounds like marketing rhetoric , there’s something to be said about the dobox’s sheer breadth of functionality , assuming it does make its way to market .
mtn’s announced a partnership with do media , owners of online video rental and distribution company do box to offer do box content over their network to mobile devices . according to the statement from mtn , via its mtn dobox app would offer free access to the content via a dedicated dobox “internet bundle” when you download the app via their store . rental and purchase charges would still apply though .
this is a little awkward , in practice . while the dobox is designed to be self - enclosed and as
apple - like
as possible , a physical switch would have been better .
likewise , a dobox connected to an oculus rift headset is shown on the kickstarter page . since it seemed like a bit of a stretch , we decided to reach out to find out more .

the dobox is very finely machined —and also quite dense . the one - pound unit comes in at just over 5 inches square , and is about three - quarters of an inch tall on a table .
despite being unclear about how the company plans on garnering third - party developer support for its all - in - one apple peripheral , this is dobox has quite the enticing product on its hands . the dobox is scheduled to launch in march 2017 for $ 150 if you back it on kickstarter . we’re uncertain just how much it will cost once it releases , but you still have eight days to pledge support now for the early bird discount .
in the time that dobox has been active on mtn and etisalat , it’s been touted as possible competition for irokotv especially because of the zero - rated content download powered by the telco partnerhip . but dobox is hardly proving a worthy competitor . uptake has been middling at best , if a < 50 , 000 downloads on the android play is anything go by , and dobox has largely stayed under the radar since its last partnership with etisalat in q1 2015 . it’ll be interesting to see how the airtel partnership shakes out and what it will do to the startup’s fortunes in a space that also has solo view , and afrinolly ( which is also backed by mtn ) offering similar services exclusively on mobile .
as part of the indiegogo campaign , we were promised that you could connect to a mac from an ipad when on - the - go , and control it remotely . this is where connecting a mouse to the dobox pays off .
while out and about with the dobox , we got asked a lot of questions about it —including but not limited to
what does it do ,
what ' s it for ,
and
why do i need one .
in the interests of full disclosure , our pre - release period with the device wasn ' t smooth —but that ' s the case with just about any new product . the dobox developers have proven very capable of issuing both hardware and software updates .
the dobox includes a usb - a to usb - c charging cable for use with a wall adapter . the company recommends a usb 3 . 0 or newer type - a or type - c port to get the full 1 amp of charging power .
when you see the dobox , and what it can do , you know already if it ' ll simplify your life as a universal adapter of sorts . it ' s just a hard sell if you only need to do one thing that it can accomplish .
one of the basic premises of the dobox is simple filesharing between macos and ios . the device is supposed to connect through an smb share —but using macos sierra , we had difficulty with that method . connecting to the device with its native ip address was easier .
mtn was the first company to layer dobox on top of its network back in 2013 in what was initially thought to be an exclusive partnership . this partnership turned out to be something similar to a licencing deal after the startup announced a similar deal with etisalat in 2014 .
dobox , brainchild of do media lets you rent or purchase shortfilms and full length movies from your computer , mobile devices and game consoles via their magicbox service . they have also got musicbox , livebox and eyebox which cater to music , live events streaming and user generated content respectively .
“now that technology has met with creativity , i believe nigerian movies , will be taken to the next level . as one of the producers , who have his movie on mtn dobox , i must commend mtn for this initiative , now our films can reach everyone , ” he said .
this picture above is a concept that we want to build with your help . on the pictures below you can see the current prototype of the dobox , made of high quality aluminium . we have to finalize the design and the board . pledge and help us to make it even better !
if you wanted to buy all the accessories , you would have to pay at least $ 700 . but you don ' t have to pay this high price , because with the dobox you can do everything . if you are fast , the super early bird price starts as low as $ 149 .
networking on the dobox is provided through an ethernet port and 802 . 11n wi - fi . video out is provided over hdmi 1 . 2 , and other connectivity options include audio - out , a pair of usb 3 . 0 ports , a usb - c input , and a microsd card reader .
we are getting ready to ship you the dobox , and we would need you to send us or update your shipping addresses . we also ask for phone number , because the courier company will need it . unfortunately , choosing the color is not available . please make sure that all your info is correct ! thank you .
with the airtel dobox , airtel subscribers will be able to download videos and other popular entertainment content without data charges , but only pay a one - time rent via airtime recharge . a one - time rent that varies depending on the kind of content downloaded and the length of time the content will stay on a user’s device .
dobox a 3 out of 5 as it stands today —with a great deal of potential for future improvement . given that the company is highly responsive to the wants of its consumer base and isn ' t afraid to issue fixes , we ' ll revisit this later as the software matures , and we ' re looking forward to what we discover .
“this partnership with do media will provide customers a seamless user experience , through dobox internet bundle ( dib ) . it will grant customers’ access to conveniently rent movies and trailers . nigerian entertainment - seekers can now have access to movies of different languages , hausa , ibo , yoruba and many more languages on the go , whenever and however they can . ”
hardware : we have to finalize the design and the board , test everything , and apply for different certifications ( ce , fcc , etc . ) . we may face possible delays , but we will do everything to deliver on time . by reaching the various stretch goals we will have to comply with the requirements of the apple mfi program . we are aware of this , and strive to get the mfi certification of dobox . software : we create custom kernel and software , but we use such solutions that will allow for online updates . this way we can fix the possible bugs , and continue to work on the updates . quality : each dobox will be tested before dispatch , but they also may have problems , therefore we give one year guarantee .
apple goes to great lengths to ensure its users are continuously buying into new products within its ecosystem . want to use an sd card with your iphone ? you’ll need a $ 30 adapter . want to wirelessly project to an external display ? you’ll need a $ 150 apple tv . after awhile , these products can pack quite a punch on your wallet . that is why one english startup , this is dobox ltd . , is creating a single accessory that wants to a replace an assortment of apple’s own devices .
as it stands , the dobox replaces a bunch of other single - function devices and cabling . no longer is there a need to shlep around a lightning flash drive , a travel router , a lightning - to - hdmi adapter , and a slew of other connectors . as a bonus , it ' ll connect usb - a devices to a usb - c computer like the 2016 macbook pro when not in use . the box doesn ' t connect using uasp , so the functionality is rudimentary , but it is there .
my name is mate molnar , a long - time apple fan and inventor . i also felt frustrated like many others , and i wanted to find a simple solution to these problems . after many months of fruitless research , i realized that i have to create it myself . the initial idea was a sleek ipad case with multiple ports on the back . but one day i had the idea that it would be useful for iphones and macs , as well . so , i started working on the first prototype of a separate device . this is how the dobox was born .

. it rapidly hit its funding goal shortly thereafter in april , which brought with it the extra ability to function as a usb hub when powered down .
the device is powered via either usb - c or its internal 8 , 000 mah battery . the same battery can charge other devices over usb - a connections .
the aluminum finish picks up fingerprints and
seasoning
from handling readily , but is also easily cleaned with a screen wipe or just a damp paper towel .
there is no conventional power switch on the device . turning it on is done with a circular swipe on the power level indicator panel on top . it takes about 16 seconds for the unit to fully boot .
from empty to full , using an apple ipad power adapter , it took three hours to charge the accessory ' s battery .
sharing a wireless network connection went off without a hitch in our testing . we tried both connecting to ethernet and sharing public wi - fi with a peak of 9 devices , and encountered no issues other than those induced by congested wi - fi traffic .
even at very close range , data transfers were slow . the max speed we reached was about 15 megabytes per second to internal storage . we connected a mushkin ventura ultra 120 gigabyte ssd to a usb 3 . 0 port and found that after the internal storage was filled , transfers quadruped to around 60 megabytes per second .
so the speed limitations don ' t appear to be because of wi - fi problems , but because the flash media just couldn ' t write data any faster .
however , even given the usb hub feature of the device , we couldn ' t locally mount the storage when physically connected to a macbook pro . this wasn ' t promised as a feature , but it seems like it should have been .
apple has made a big deal about how there ' s no need for a pointer other than an apple pencil or a finger . as such , its apis aren ' t really mouse - friendly .
it ' s also a bandwidth - limited solution however , reliant on how good of a connection you have on both ends .
d . c . branch , so that effectively rules out bandwidth problems at one location . at schools and libraries , we had no problems remotely using a wired 2012 mac mini .
starbucks and mcdonald ' s didn ' t go so well . it appears the threshold for acceptable remote use is about 8 megabits up and down , with a relatively powerful router on both ends .
the hdmi port functions as expected , if all you want is video out . if you need audio too , then you need to run a cable from the audio - out port to an input somewhere else .
this isn ' t a bad thing if you rely on a hdmi - to - dvi connector on an older projector , and rely on an audio - out connection for the speakers in the unit . for everybody else , it might be an annoyance .
the long and the short of it is , if you have an apple tv , use that for airplay . if you don ' t , this will ( mostly ) work .
a fully supported device is leagues better than one released half - baked and forgotten . kudos for the improvement initiative .
we never had a good script for those questions . they were best answered by asking about a person ' s possible needs and going from there .

we are the apple freedom fighters . we don ' t fight against apple , we fight for apple fans to make their lives even better . we love apple , but we also feel limited in its possibilities . in the recent years , apple has been intentionally reducing the number of ports on its products , while making us buy over - priced adapters . we have an iphone , an ipad , and the new macbook , but we felt frustrated , because we faced the following problems :
we couldn ' t easily connect our old loudspeakers , printers , keyboards , projectors , etc .
the definition of portability has changed in the last several years . . .
- tim cook
however , i knew i couldn ' t finish this alone , so i found the best people to help me . now the team consists of four young professionals . we are recruiting apple fans to help us build the primary weapon of this freedom fight . the first wireless dock for apple devices . the one that brings balance to the apple universe . the missing part that completes the apple .
these prices are in usd , but our prices are fixed in gbp . usd prices may change depending on the actual conversion rate .
the faster you act the better , because we have only a limited amount of doboxes at the early bird price . pledge before the price goes up !
you can continue to be frustrated because of the limited connectivity of your apple devices , and the difficulty of sharing files . you can continue to buy expensive adapters , which take up a lot of space .

this month ' s update will be a little bit different than before . we ' ll try answer your most burning questions one - by - one .
- how many doboxes have you sent out so far ? - unfortunately none , because of software and firmware bugs , of which we already fixed a lot .
- how many units are in the first batch ? - we ordered 50 units in the first batch from the manufacturers , but only received 40 due to lack of manufacturing parts . of these we are sending out 30 to the first backers during may .
- how many units are in the second batch ? - 1000 pieces , which will be enough for all our kickstarter and indiegogo backers . the electronics will be manufactured by the end of may , because there were problems sourcing some of the parts . afterwards we assemble and test all the units one - by - one , and send them continously as they are ready .
- what ' s the order of shipping ? - we ship first to kickstarter , and then to indiegogo backers in order of date of pledging .
note : update it through kickstarter or indiegogo , not via pm or email .
