Kingston Digital has been a known brand for manufacturing storage capacities for quite a while now and it looks like they’re going a step ahead and giving some extra attention to Apple users. Kingston has launched a wireless storage device called the Wi Drive meant specifically for the iPod touch, iPad and the iPhone 3G/3GS/4. There's a USB port present to make it compatible with other non-Mac PCs, so you can transfer data onto it and access it from any of the aforementioned Apple devices.
