With the market flooded with flash drives in all shapes and sizes, companies have to find different ways to offer unique and useful functionality. Kingston combines 16 GB of flash storage with a surprisingly capable wireless hotspot. Allowing up to three clients to access the data stored on it or even move data to the device through the free app. This could make the Wi-Drive quite the powerful collaboration tool, especially when being on the road.
If Kingston could offer a 3G based unit, along with the performance benefit of USB 3.0 connectivity and fix the flawed look and feel of the Android app (at least on the brand new Android 4 OS), then they have a winner on their hands. As it stands now, the Kingston Wi-Drive is a functional unit, that delivers on all its promises, still has some rough edges, but may end up being surprisingly useful in certain situations.
