    Just bought this: Kinston WiFi Does everything you want. Recharges, acts as a WiFi hotspot from Ethernet, and you store and play media from SD cards or USB sticks which means you can bring tonnes of stuff around with you. I have a 32GB Kingston WiDrive, but they are pricey, and not half as useful as this.

    Thank you Whippet but that's a bit pricey for my budget.

    White rebel that looks good. Can I ask a stupid question I presume I put the movies on the sd card and then put the sd card into the device you link?

    What about the wireless seagate in argos, sorry I can't link (not enough posts)

    Yes, so your only limit is the amount of SD cards you have. Cracking kit for the price.

    Just looking at this again and I'm wondering about this one

    Argos cat number 281/7277

    Sandisk connect 64gb wireless media drive €119.99

    It has an sd slot too so you can add more. It is Usb 2 compatibility, is that not great?

    The Kingston one above has gone upto £35 so thinking the Sandisk or the LaCie one might be a better buy now.

    Have a look at the Verbatim Mediashare wireless device. Costs ~ €40.
    You can connect SD cards or any old USB hard disk.
    Has inbuilt WiFi and an IOS app.
