Looks very intriguing and a little expensive right now!

too bad the app doesn't play non-iOS video files (mkv, etc). you would need another app and hopefully that app would see the drive.

AirVideo should do that job nicely... it already does a great job of reading all kinds of files direct from my iMac remotely (internet or local network) so fingers crossed will be fine for the GoFlex too...
Interesting product. The battery life isn't good though.
plug it in then!
That was a very constructive reply. NOT!!!
You're totally missing the point. 5 hours on the go is not a lot.
then you wont be needing one of these!
my point and you totally missed it was that no matter where you happen to be you can find a power source, whether that is a portable battery to tether off of, like My Power Batteries or perhaps in a car with an inverter to charge Where there is a will there is a any number of ways.
And five hours to me is a lifetime as I am not doing any expositions to the south pole this year where I have to concerned about being away from a power source for more than five hours at a time and if I was concerned, I simply get two!
You are missing the point. If that was the case then people would not be complaining about the battery life of portable devices. What you say is not true. It's not always possible to have access to a power source. For example if I'm on a plane unless I'm travelling first or business class I'm not going to have access to a power source. If it's a long distance flight chances are 5 hours is not going to be long enough. You obviously live in some dream world where this is not an issue.

I picked up the Satellite on Thursday and I am quite impressed with the device. transfer my entire iTunes library, ~300GB, in little less than an hour. the iPad picked up everything on the drive. I am disappointed in the iPad app though, no ability for playlists, no way to sort other than by name, so no ability to sort by artist/genre. Streaming is quite smooth, better than I expected. No issues with viewing 720p movies. hopefully Seagate will be able to update the iPad app to support playlists and sorting other than by name. also you cannot connect to the internet while you are connected to the Satellite as the Satellite is its own WiFi hotspot. you'll have to switch WiFi networks to get back on to the internet.
