Maxell to Distribute AirStash Wireless Flash Drive for iPad/iPhone

Wearable Inc. and Maxell Corporation of America announced a partnership to distribute AirStash, a wireless flash drive with media streaming and two-way wireless document transfer capability.

AirStash is a companion to the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch for anyone who wants to view, save and share documents and media on the go. The partnership will bring second-generation AirStash products bundled with Maxell flash memory to retail, business-to-business and online channels later this year.

AirStash combines the portability of a standard USB flash drive, the flexibility of SD flash media, the power of a media streamer, and the convenience of wireless two-way file transfer. AirStash uses a standard USB connection, so you don’t need to carry a special cable or power adapter to use or recharge AirStash. SD-card support provides expandability and the ability to exchange files and media with millions of existing SD-card based products.

AirStash empowers iPad users to leave their laptop at home and work with all their documents and media on a pocket-sized flash drive. Users can wirelessly save, backup and share documents from their iPad to AirStash instead of emailing files over the Internet to another device in the same room. AirStash provides versatility with both wireless and USB operation. Users can transfer gigabytes of files either wirelessly or via USB with the convenience, reliability, and security of a standard USB drive. AirStash supports the WebDAV industry standard for compatibility with popular apps including Apple’s iWork suite and GoodReader for iOS and WebDAV Navigator for Android.

"We are extremely excited by the opportunity to bring AirStash to the retail market in partnership with such a well-respected brand as Maxell," said Matthew Klapman, CEO of Wearable Inc. "The Maxell name stands for storage and media innovation that customers trust," added Rich D’Ambrise, Director of New Business Development for Maxell, "Through our partnership with Wearable Inc., Maxell is taking a leadership position in wireless storage technology for a new generation of smartphones and tablets."

About the AirStash
AirStash is a pocket-sized wireless flash drive with built-in media streamer and two-way wireless file transfer that offers expandable iPad, iPhone, and iPod storage for movies, photos, music, eBooks, and documents. Users can download more apps and still carry dozens of movies or thousands of photos and wirelessly stream them to their iPhone or iPad. AirStash uses standard SD cards for storage.

AirStash features:

• Two-Way Wireless Connectivity to iPad with WebDAV: iPad users are able to wirelessly save documents from their tablet to the AirStash and share the documents with others immediately using WebDAV technology. It works with new and existing applications including Apple’s Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. With AirStash, there’s no more need to email files from one device to another in the same room.
• Media Streaming: Users can store and stream video and audio from their pocket thanks to the compact nature of AirStash. The premium social multimedia server gives users the freedom to enjoy movies, TV shows, and music wherever they go. Users can even share and play different media files on multiple devices simultaneously with the use of one AirStash.
• Photo Browsing & Importing: The AirStash+ app, available for free on Apple’s App Store, built at the request of professional photographers, allows AirStash owners the ability to browse and batch import photos quickly and easily. Users can immediately browse photos up to 35 megapixels directly from their camera’s SD card without waiting to import them. Photos can also be imported either at full resolution or resized to a space-saving resolution that matches the device display. This allows professional in-field editing and emailing with 3rd party apps.
