I have a similar product by Maxwell called an AirStash Wi-Drive that I use to my pictures, music, docs, movies, etc with me.
Maxell AirStash Expandable Capacity Wireless Flash Drive A02 (Included Starter 16GB Class 10 SDHC Card)
Here is the Amazon link:
It is expandable to an 128 GB.
It work great and includes an app for both the iPad and the iPhone, but works as well from Safari or Chrome on the iOS devices and computers.

A) A USB thumb drive (with removable SD storage; it comes with a 8 or 16Gb card, but you can use your own. You can also use a Micro SD card if you use an adaptor). Most of us are familiar with thumb drives, and when this is inserted into a USB slot, it acts like any of them. Not too exciting.
B) A wireless access point. This device has a built in battery (life about 6+ hours on full charge, and it charges when it's in a USB slot). So you can pull it out of a computer and suddenly you have a wireless access point with on-board memory. What does that mean? It means that if you have any networked device, and if that device allows you to see and browse other networked devices, you can browse the files that are on this device. It supports wireless B, G, and N. On any normal computer (or Android device), you simply enter [airstash] into your device's browser, and you can list/view/download/upload files on the AirStash through the resulting interface. Very easy.
So...You can take your AirStash "thumb drive", connect it to a computer, upload a bunch of videos or pictures to it, disconnect it from your computer, and then stream those videos or pictures to any local networked devices that may want to access them.
There is an app for Apple's iOS operating system that, when installed, then allow you to browse the AirStash (assuming you're in wireless network range). You can download from the AirStash. This is handy for movies that are not in the Apple format; you can download it and run it with an alternative app.

Speeds are as you'd expect, depending on your network (b, g or n). The supplied memory card is "class 10", which is nice and fast. (If you use your own memory cards, your mileage will vary, of course).
