The AirStash isn’t an ideal solution for transferring large groups of files to your iPhone, but it can be of great assistance in those cases where all you have is your iPhone, and you want to take a look at some media that you’ve just stolen from your friend’s SD or MicroSD cardwithout their knowledge. The iPhone can connect to the AirStash via wi-fi and communicate with it via a proprietary AirStash iPhone app so that you can view files as if they were right on the device. The video demo shows the AirStash streaming an .mov or .mp4 trailer of Alice in Wonderland, and the performance was excellent — which means that medium sized documents and ordinary music files should simply fly from the AirStash to your iPhone.
There are drawbacks to this solution, though: the constant streaming of data must take a serious toll on battery life, so this really isn’t an ideal way to keep a set of movies. Then there’s the fact that any kind of media you load up is going to be segregated: no smooth iPod interface here. Each video or music file is going to load into a single QuickTime-like window, similar to the the YouTube app. However, as iPhone accessories go, this is definitely one of the coolest ones I’ve seen thus far, and it’s apparently iPad-compatible, too.
