Showcased for the first time at the beginning of the year during the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, PQI’s Air Drive wireless storage device has just been made official by the company.
PQI’s latest creation has the same functionality as Kingston’s Wi-Drive, but it features improved compatibility, which enables it to work even with Android-powered smartphones.
For those of you that aren’t familiar with the Wi-Drive, this is basically an external storage solution that can connect to various devices through an ad-hoc wireless network. In the case of the PQI Air Drive, this connection can support up to five devices simultaneously.
For storage purposes, the drive relies on an SD card slot, which is compatible with SDHC memory cards sporting capacities of up to 32GB.
Other features include a retractable USB cord, a built-in high performance lithium-ion battery that can offer an estimated 5 hours of continuous video playback, an activity LED, and an ultra-compact design.
In fact, PQI’s Air Drive is about the same size as a credit card since it measures 85x54x8mm, while its weight is rated at a mere 55 grams.
“PQI is honored and very happy to share the Air Drive with the public and looks forward to providing even more wonderful products in the future,” said a PQI representative.
“Breaking away from the physical barriers by going wireless enables people to access more possibilities and unlimited opportunities.
“With PQI’s “Memory in the Air”, users can access the cloud like never before and enjoy wireless lifestyles with unlimited possibilities,” concluded the company’s rep.
PQI hasn’t provided us with any details regarding the drive's availability or pricing, but the company did mention that this will be available in two colorways, namely Iron Grey and Jet Black.
