    Pros: Solid external drive.
    Wifi streaming is very good.

    Cons: Needs a toggle/pass through feature for internet access to multitask.
    Browser/media manager needs tweeking.

    Summary: I got this to port my media for my iPad (even though I'd use this for my Windows laptop & Android phone). As an external drive, it is very good and was easy to setup. I've run movies and music from the drive when wired to my computer (through iTunes and/or other media players).

    The wifi feature is very good. I've streamed a few movies and music to my iPad & Evo and haven't had major interruptions. I don't keep it too far away (20 feet is/was the most for me), but it does provide a strong signal. I do wish that they include a 'toggle/pass through' feature between internet wifi vs. its wifi signal for the iPad because I like to multitask.

    Seagate's browser/interface is nice, but it's not 'polished.' I hope that their firmware update addresses file management...especially playlists.

    Other than those 2 criticisms, it does what it's supposed to do and I'm more than satisfied.

    I bought the Goflex sattellite few days ago, thinking it was a brillant product. After resolving configuation problems and getting the APP for my Ipad II, the product work fine but a realize it is worthless for me. My main goal was using it as a backup device for my Ipad when travelling, streaming is only one way, you can read the Goflex from the Ipad, but you can't upload files to the Goflex, you need your PC to use the program to manage the files on your hardrive device. There is no way to add files on this device using a memory card or a usb cable, you need a PC. Since few ears, when travelling, I use only a Ipad, it is more lighter and smaller and a take a lot of pictures, but the Ipad have a memory limitation and I needed a backup to onload it. I am realy deceive with this product and hope Seagate will work to upgrade the possibilities for users. Thank you
