Seagate GoFlex Satellite →
Darren Murph over at Engadget wrote a nice review about Seagate’s newly released GoFlex Satellite. This interesting mobile hard-disk comes with a built-in battery and allows you to stream the content of the hard-drive over WiFi to any modern mobile device. Apparently it even comes with a car charger.

Naturally, things work best on an iOS device, but any tablet / handheld / computer with a WiFi module and a web browser can theoretically take advantage. We connected through the mobile Safari browser as well as the browser on our Nexus One (Android 2.3), and while the former gave nearly the same experience as the app (albeit with slightly longer loading times), the latter had one particular pain point. Viewing photos and listening to music on Android’s browser was a cinch, but viewing videos… no so much. Our phone kept trying to download entire videos rather than streaming them, so we’d caution non-iOS users to expect some limitations if you buy in.
