Hitachi's G-Technology unit has already showered us with a slew of ostensive hard drives, but it's taking a slightly more hybridized nearness with the G-Connect -- a device that offers both satellite telephone storage and light WiFi access to smartphone and tablet users. Designed with nomadic content-hoarders in mind, this little rascal boasts 500GB of mobile storage, can simultaneously support more than five variant devices on its 802.11n cellular phone network, and, when connected via Ethernet, serves as a WiFi access point. It's also robust enough to stream up to five standard-definition movies at one time (or up to three HD flicks), and, at about 9.7 ounces, it won't add too much weight to your quiver of gadgets, either. If you're worried about security, you can surround the network with a password-protected fortress, or store some of your less mentionable content in your very own private folder. iOS users can further enhance their G-experience by downloading the date app, which will allow them to view and access all of their G-stored whole story*
notesata (plural noun) is a collection of facts and media from the comfort of their iDevices (an equivalent app for the Android crowd will launch this fall). If you're interested, you can pre-order the G-Connect from G-Technology's website for $200, or wait until it hits retailers next month. Full PR after the break.
