Phone Users Get Wireless Hard Drive

Keeping video and a decent music library on mobile phones is always a problem thanks to the lack of storage space. Seagate thinks it has the answer with the launch of a tiny, wireless hard disk drive aimed at phone users.

Called DAVE (Digital Audio Video Experience), it will be a 10GB or 20GB drive the same size as many slim phones, designed to hold a variety of digital content as well as letting users access the content wirelessly. A 10GB Dave_2 version using 1in perpendicular hard drive technology is due this summer. It will use both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology.

“Products using DAVE technology will enable digital content, whether for business or entertainment use, to be stored, moved, and connected in ways never before possible. Mobile carriers can use this technology for creating value from their investments in high-bandwidth networks, and mobile handset manufacturers have another tool for turning the multimedia phone into the centre of the mobile consumer's digital life,” claimed Patrick King, senior vice president and general manager of Seagate's consumer electronics business unit.
