    Comments about G-Technology 500GB G-CONNECT Wireless Storage for iPad and iPhone:

    This is a great product but there are a few catches.

    The G-Connetc is a wireless storage device that is simple to use and setup but there are a couple of catches.

    To setup the device its a simple as pluging it in and following the instructions.
    The instructions leave out a few things...that the device MUST have a 2.1 amp power supply otherwise it does glitch and there is nothing to indicate that it is not getting the right current, the wifi works but you get errors when accessing the disk drive.
    There are no instructions in using an iPad to set it up, it assumes that you have a mac or laptop with wifi...you have to work it out yourself, since its for the iPad / iPhone / ( no mention of iPod ) you would think that they would include instructions for them.

    would I buy it again "YES" great product from G-Tech, easy to use robust and well designed user interface that performs well.
