AirStash is a USB Drive That Packs Its Own WiFi
By Dave Peterson | January 14, 2010
Ever wished there was a faster, easier way to share files between your computer and your iPhone or iPod Touch? Mobile computing is increasingly being split between notebook computers and phones, but the data transfer isn’t always easy. The AirStash is a WiFi-enabled USB flash drive that stores data on SD cards up to 32 GB. The idea is that you can get files on and off the device in a number of ways: By USB connection, WiFi, or SD Card. You can load it up with files before going to a meeting, then allow those in the meeting access to your portable hotspot to read the files. The wireless feature can be encrypted with WPA2. The drive is a bit bigger than a non-hotspot USB drive, measuring about 2 by 3 1/2 inches. It carries a lithium polymer battery that recharges when plugged into a computer’s USB port. No exact price is indicated, but the web site compares it to one month of iPhone service.
