March 20, 2010 – The iPhone and iPod Touch are without a doubt amazing devices. One of the biggest complaints about them is the limited built-in storage and no means of expanding it. A company by the name of Wearable Inc. created a new device that will solve that problem. The AirStash is a wireless media server and SD/SDHC card reader that connects to the iPhone, iTouch and iPad using their built-in Wi-Fi capabilities.
Simply turn the AirStash on and insert an SD card, then go to the settings on your iPhone and select the AirStash as your Wi-Fi network. You’ll then be able to see the contents of the SD card right on your device and have the ability to view photos from your camera’s memory card, or even stream video and audio all without wires connecting the devices.
The AirStash is small enough measuring only 3.6” x 1.9” x .5” and weighing just 1.5 oz, that you could put it in your pocket, backpack, briefcase or handbag. The lithium-polymer battery provides up to 5 hours of video streaming and can be charged using any powered USB port. When plugged in, the AirStash works as a high-speed flash drive and memory card reader.
If you live in the US or Canada, you can buy the AirStash for $99 from their website at airstash.com.
Be sure to check out the demo video to see how cool the AirStash really is. Read More→
