The AirStash 16GB AO2 Wireless Flash Drive is the first wireless flash drive for the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and other tablets and smartphones, including Android, Kindle Fire and Microsoft Windows Phone 7. It also works with netbooks and PCs. AirStash is the first of its kind in the world to feature both media streaming and two-way document transfer capability. For anyone who wishes to view, save and share documents and media on-the-go, this second-generation drive is the perfect solution!
AirStash brings together the portability of a standard USB flash drive, the flexibility of SD flash media, the power of a media streamer, and the extreme convenience of 2-way wireless file transfer--all in one compact device. It utilizes a standard USB connection, so there's no need to carry around a special cable or power adapter to use or recharge the drive. SD card support offers virtually limitless expandability, as well as the capability to exchange files and media with millions of existing SD-card based products.
AirStash gives iPad users the power to leave their laptops at home and work with all their documents and media on a pocket-sized flash drive. You can wirelessly save, backup, and share documents from your iPad or other device to AirStash rather than emailing files over the Internet to another device in the same room. The AirStash offers total versatility with both wireless and USB operation. Enjoy the ability to speedily transfer gigabytes of files either wirelessly or via USB with the convenience, reliability and security of a standard USB drive. The device supports the WebDAV industry standard for compatibility with popular new and existing applications, including Apple's Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iWork suite and GoodReader for iOS, and WebDAV Navigator for Android.
Enjoy expandable storage for movies, photos, music, eBooks, and documents. Download more apps and continue to carry dozens of movies or thousands of photos and wirelessly stream them to your iPhone, iPad or other compatible device. You can even share and play different media files on multiple devices simultaneously with a single AirStash!
The AirStash+ app, available for free on Apple's App Store, developed at the request of professional photographers, enables you to browse and batch import photos quickly and easily. Instantly view photos of up to 35 MP resolution directly from your camera's SD card--without having to wait to import them. Photos may also be imported at full resolution or resized to a space-saving resolution matching the device display. This enables professional in-field editing and emailing with third-party apps.
The AirStash runs on a rechargeable lithium battery offering up to 7 hr of uninterrupted access wherever you go.

Comments about AirStash 16GB AO2 Wireless Flash Drive:
This device fills the void left by Apple developers. You can view or transfer photos to/from your iPhone or iPad with ease. I have not tried to project several movies from the device to multiple iPhones/iPads yet but I have full confidence in its capabilities.
It would be nice to have the option to physically connect to Apple products for a faster transfer rate but the wireless connection is amazing in its own right.

Comments about AirStash 16GB AO2 Wireless Flash Drive:
After charging the Airstash loaded up some videos on included 16Gb SD Card. First tried on IPhone 4S. Downloaded free airstash App. Turned on airstash and found wireless on IPhone connected easily and selected video to play and ran fine. Then connected to my Xoom at same time and was able to play both devices concurrently. Also ran fine on IPAD2.
Updating the firmware (following online instructions) worked but not quite exactly as described (did not see the airstash lights blinking per document). Some concern after reattaching to PC after firmware update but after unplugging and trying again, PC recognized correctly.
Used 64 Gb SDXC. As described online, needed to reformat the memory using software Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition. When trying to format when in airstash kept getting error. Put the card into my memory card reader and was able to format properly.
Turning on security using WEP was somewhat combersome since required exactly 13 characters but once done, devices will remember.

Love this bit of gear. Best device for transferring data to your iPad, iPhone etc. Works well. Easy setup app installed and transfer data within minutes. Only thing not so good is the size. But maybe that is because I was expecting the device to be smaller.

Comments about AirStash 16GB AO2 Wireless Flash Drive:
I had wished there was a way to transfer photos from SD cards in my cameras to my iPhone--without needing a computer. I had wished my iPhone had a USB port.
My wishes were answered by the AirStash. Importantly, it was easy to set up and use. Result: When traveling, I can back up my photos to my iPhone without needing a computer. Just put the camera's SD card in the AirStash, use it to set up a WiFi network, and transfer selected files to the iPhone. And . . . I'll be able to show friends those photos on the iPhone's screen rather than relying on the camera's smaller screen.
I've had it a short time, and using it is mostly intuitive. I've had to refer to the brief documentation accompanying it and the documentation on the Internet.

Comments about AirStash 16GB AO2 Wireless Flash Drive:
My iPhone has useful unlimited storage with this device and the extra sd cards I bought. It has breathed new life into an 8 gig iPhone I thought I would have to upgrade. I didn't want to buy a new phone or lock in to a term contract again and the Airstash 2nd gen saved me from the expense and aggravation of that. And, bonus!, when away from home (car, tent, cabin) everyone in the family can connect and watch different movies on their different devices.
The device works as advertised and is easy to load up at home with music, documents and video. I even use it at work on both my PC and Mac!
There is a free iPhone app that makes connecting to mobile devices while on the go a breeze.
Love it!
