I can only assume that someone from Seagate has an iPad or other tablet without a USB and got frustrated with the limited storage available (I know I would need a bit more storage than that offered by Apple).

Recently they (Seagate) gave us a glimpse their new HDD which has just joined the wireless arena. No longer do you need to plug-in your external Hard drive using a USB cable, but you can now send those bits and bytes over WiFi. Although we can’t give the award to being first to Seagate, (that goes to AirStash), we can certainly commend them on their creation. The 500 GB adds a fairly large amount of extra storage to any device.

The possibility that this offers goes far beyond just using it with you tablet PC. Very few homes have their own personal data server and since SA is not fully integrated in the cloud computing arena just yet, this offers a great opportunity to be able to back up your laptops and tablets without having to plug them in, just hit your wireless on and copy your data across no matter where in the house you are. No more lugging that 3.5” external HDD around with you or trying to find that plug point, just leave the HDD in your office and that’s it!

Well done on this one Seagate, just a bit curious on the range of the signal as well as the security!
