external drive for ios products I just purchased a cloud ftp usb adapter for my ipad so i can access my data.
What these companies dont tell you is that the ipad must sync or download the files from hdd to ipad to access the data, which makes it ridiculous if your trying to watch video or listen to music.
My question is: Does anyone know how to stream the data from an external storage device so that accessing feel natural like a laptop?

edit: Air Video with a mac mini server pretty much did what i was looking for. Hopefully a HDD that offers something similar will be available soon.
Apple TV does most of this especially if u pay $25 a year for iTunes Match. Anything downloaded is available on all devices including the Apple TV...
