Testurteil: "7 out of 10"
Test: Einzeltest: Iomega SuperHero
Zitat: Pro: + Ultra-simple nightly backup and charging
+ Sleek, high-quality dock
+ Included 4GB SD card
Contra: - Only backs up photos and contacts
- No way to restore contacts without a replacement iPhone
- Mind-bendingly slow
Our biggest complaint about the SuperHero belongs in a hate letter to Apple, not Iomega. The overly protective Cupertino company won’t open up the whole barn of iPhone storage to third-party accessories, so the SuperHero can only back up photos and contacts. No videos, no music, no apps, no notes. Maybe it’s really more like a bulletproof vest than a parachute, because it will preserve the vitals, but it’s still going to hurt like hell if you have to use it.
So no, the SuperHero doesn’t eliminate the need to regularly back up with iTunes, but it does preserve two of the most valuable assets on your phone with zero hassle. After all, you can download your apps again and probably already have a copy of your music files on your computer, but photos and years of contact information can be lost forever.
At $70, Iomega’s SuperHero costs about double your average nightstand dock, and a slew of other backup options including iTunes and cloud-based options will give you the same results. But nothing beats the SuperHero for ease of use. If you can sleep a little sounder knowing your data is being safely tucked away on an SD card every night, Iomega’s SuperHero pays for itself in peace of mind.
