Storage sticks have ramped up - Seagate has unveiled a wireless, pocket-sized device that can hold up to 20 gigs of data. The Digital Audio Video Experience, or DAVE, uses a one-inch hard drive to trade files with other platforms from up to 30 feet away using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi networking. The idea behind DAVE is to allow for easier and more robust sharing of information between wireless mobile devices, such as cell phones, PCs and PDAs.

Here are the specs:

- Up to 10 hours of media streaming performance or 14 days of standby operation
- Open development platform: it gives the developers the opportunity to develop new games, applications and content utilizing increased storage and Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or -- USB connectivity

Specifications:
Size: 0.48x3.5x2.4 in/12x89x61 mm
Weight: 2.5oz/70g
Connectivity: 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, USB OTG 2.0
Supported phone platforms: Windows Mobile, Symbian, BREW, J2ME

Destined for retail shelves this May, expect DAVE to set you back a mere $179.

The way I see it, most 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, which is a great step in portable digital media. Still, there's the speed problem I'm sure engineers are working on right now.
