When on my recent trip, there was that really neat point where you are told that you can turn on your wireless devices. As usual, I take a look at any Wi-Fi options which might be available and noticed that there as a network running that looked a bit unfamiliar. Because the flight was a long one, I stood up, looked around, and noticed a person with a blinking USB device nearby on their tray. I asked him what it was and was (re)introduced to the AirStash – a wireless flash drive that is also a pocket media server and SD card adapter. In a literal sense, you would be carrying a pocket media server, able to stream or download up to 32GB of content, to anyone who has a WiFi-enabled device.

I will admit, because I use a Nokia N8 and 1st gen iPad, I started to get some ideas. But, I’m already able to duplicate what the AirStash does using my N8 and JoikuSpot (am a special case, I know).

AirStash does have a neat ability though for many folks who might be moving to a mobile device that doesn’t have a lot of internal space, or from a device that has a memory card to one that doesn’t. You end up with a place to archive the old content, and a means to share it for others no matter their device. AirStash as not just a personal media folder, but one that could easily come in handy during family and community gatherings.
