Interesting, a bit pricey but it'll probably come down.

Very cool idea. Battery powered, USB 3, stream three files at the same time to three different devices. I want one. Thanks for posting.

Agreed - very nice idea, if it works well.

Seagate has been teasing a new device and the money was on an external HD.
Very cool for travel.
Now if one could move data from the iPad to that GoFlex, that would be VERY cool.

The AirStash is an alternative:

Maybe Markintosh can get one of these for his wife's new Droid Unbelievable. Oh, wait...

According to the company it works with WebOS devices, so why wouldn't it work with Android phones?
Edit: Did a little more digging, AirStash does work with Android devices among other devices.

I like it. It would take place of the camera connection kit for the iPad too.

Your citation contains the following caveat:
"On Android devices, streaming support varies depending on the device manufacturer and version of Android"
(That's so expected in the fragmandroid world.)

But it does work contrary to your assertion. Probably wouldn't hurt to fact check before getting snarky.
