HP launches Pocket Playlist WiFi drive at CES, we go hands-on
We just got to spend a few moments with HP's new Pocket Playlist, a tremendously small WiFi drive that can pump out media to up to five devices at once. Thanks to a PlayLater subscription, the drive can pull content from Hulu, store it up and push out content to your smartphones. Capable of pushing out video to three devices at once or audio to five, it's designed for those long car trips where one person wants to watch Dora while someone else watches Duck Dynasty. In person, its a startlingly thin and light piece of hardware, barely a few millimeters thick and only a little longer than an iPhone 5. Of course, like anything that's clad in black, piano gloss plastic, it takes barely a few moments before it's covered in fingerprint smears. The 32GB drive ships on February 15th and will set you back $130. Follow all the latest CES 2013 news at our event hub. Dana Murph contributed to this report.
HP Pocket Playlist WiFi drive takes video from Hulu or Netflix, shares media with five devices
There's no shortage of WiFi storage devices these days, but it's not often that they collect web video -- which makes HP's new Pocket Playlist at least somewhat worthy of a closer look. Through a PlayLater subscription and PC software, the wireless drive can store video from Hulu, Netflix and other sources for playback when it's more convenient. Anyone not keen on trying to snag a local copy of a stream can still share up to 16 movies, 7,600 songs or 10,000 photos to as many as five devices, including Android, iOS and Windows Phone gear. HP ships the Pocket Playlist on February 15th for $129.
