Also compatible with iOS Android. Mac and PC

Perhaps this helps solve a problem of expensive portable devices with limited memory. 

[Gary]

Nice idea Steve  very useful and could work over a multitude of portable devices as you say.

[Steve]

The key question is - Does it actually work though.

[Glenn]

At £125 it's not cheap to find out.

Version 1 of anything hell even version 6 of anything can be buggy these days, I'll wait for reviews I think.

[Technical Ben]

Don't they already do Bluetooth enabled flash drives/cards?

[pctech]

Unless they've figured how to transmit electricity through the air wirelessly I don't think so Ben.

[Steve]

Is that called a spark or 'lightening'.

Actually, they already did it... five years ago! Seagate DAVE - I guess it never caught on!

Or induction...

It's just finding somewhere that sells them.

PS, they have been out in various forms for about 10 years. Oh, and the next tech would be induction probably. But I agree, these are wifi out, not wifi in for data. It would need a small battery to take the data in while unplugged.
