Well, I agree with your initial comment, but think about it. Say you've got someone who has to copy a bunch of files using a flash drive that's only 1 GB. If they have several GB of stuff, they have to keep flipping back and forth and deleting and moving stuff. Many people who just are average users don't really know how to cook up a network connection just to move a couple large files, but this product would (assumably) help those who don't understand networking or don't have the patience. It is not really marketed for those of us who know how to do this, rather, for those of us who can't do it without help.
