this device definitely has both the cool and functionality factors working for it. mobile storage that works wirelessly has almost endless possible uses. if they want people storing videos i think they should have a 40gig option, but i bet there are plans for future models with a higher capacity.

Yes! There was talk of the Personal Area Network (PAN) in the early days of bluetooth, but I have yet to see an array of devices that could support that concept. The DAVE is right on, at least for me. Now if the Zune folks could built a similar functionality beyond squirting music, that would be even better.

I’ve been looking for something that this could end up being for a few years. I do a lot of presentations to medium sized groups and what would really like is a way to walk into a room, hookup my PC, start projecting and drop this on the table telling everyone with a laptop to logon and gab a copy of my presentation. No more “pass the memory stick” or collecting cards to email out later. If someone would develop an app using the API to do that easily, I would buy one in a minute.

Ahem.
