What a cool idea. I remember before built in GPS were common in devices, you could pick up a Bluetooth GPS device and use it just the same.

Technically with WiFi and high-speed cellular connections you could still do this sort of thing with drives on remote machines, but sometimes you really need additional "local" hardware storage.

msmobiles.com has a good write up of the device here.

The Seagate® D.A.V.E.™ (Digital Audio Video Experience) platform delivers the best way to move, store and connect your digital life, wirelessly connecting mobile devices with up to 60 GB of extra storage. It’s the best way for mobile entertainment device manufacturers and mobile network providers to help their consumers unify content management.

You know the more I think about it, the Seagate D.A.V.E. is missing something... I'm just not sure what... Maybe this technology is just too good, maybe it is too much...
