  1. WiFi storage? by bobthemuse · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What I'd like to see is a WiFi memory stick which emulates local storage. Allows you to connect to and store your photos on a PC in range. If the power consumption and security concerns were addressed, professional photographers could transmit their photos to a nearby laptop, eliminating the need for a bulky storage device on the waist or frequently swapping memory cards.

    I wonder what such a thing would do for write times? I've been told that the delay between pictures on high-end digital cameras was due to solid state memory write times, would an 11mbit link solve this?
