Kingston Wi-Drive – Not to be confused with “Wii”, a Wi-Drive from Kingston is a wireless and portable storage solution that allows you to share and stream files to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch from it. The Kingston Wi-Drive has a built-in Wi-Fi signal so you can connect to it from any iOS devices that can connect to a Wi-Fi point. It’s like having an external hard drive with a built-in Wi-Fi signal so you can carry it anywhere yet still remains accessible by your iPhone or iPad.
By downloading and installing the Wi-Drive App for iOS devices (free), you can stream movies, listen to music, and view pictures/documents from the Kingston Wi-Drive to your iOS devices easily. This way, you don’t have to plug your iPhone or iPad to the computer to access your files. To store the files initially to the Wi-Drive, you still need to connect via the USB cable. Only then you can access the files you transferred on your iOS devices through your wireless network.

The Wi-Drive weighs 86.18 grams only and compact, so it’s pretty much portable. You can carry it around with you and then let your friends or co-workers to connect to it and view your files.
