Seagate’s New “Dave” – A Mobile Hard Drive with WiFi, Bluetooth Connectivity

Seagate’s new hard drive made just for mobile phones is a great enabler for mobile content providers – who have been constrained by the limitations of mobile memory for years.   Now, your phone can store as much content as your PC – allowing content providers such as mobile gaming companies to add richer, more intense graphics and information than ever before.  D.A.V.E stands for digital audio video experience.

Dave is a 1.8 in HDD, and offers either 10G or 20G of disc drive storage – which means address books, calendars, MP3s, movies, and broadcast content are now all truly mobile.  The pricing is around $200, and it will be licensed to all major cell phone OEMs as well as service providers. It includes a built-in battery, with about 10 hours of battery life. 

Both Bluetooth and WiFi connections to your mobile phone from Dave are available. It can communicate with other Dave's via Bluetooth to share data as well. Small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, Dave is about to become a best friend to many!
