  - not according to their site, supposedly they have an android and apple apps -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:35 10
    - They seem to have an android app for sharing media but not consuming and no iOS app (at least from them) -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:40 8

        I really could do two solutions: Air Video for iOS and for Android - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:55 6
        
        one last thought, and i really dont know how it would work with your setup. what about services like pogoplug? - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:57 5
        
        Interesting idea. All my media is currently on a 250GB USB drive (I also have a FreeAgent but it's smaller, only 60GB I think) - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 13:00 4
        
        if i understand write, you dont have to use a freeagent drive, any usb drive (so therefore an exteneral usb 1tb drive maybe) would work. - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:02 3
        
        It does seem to do just that. Very very interesting. I also found an Android based app that works like the Air Video - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 13:05 1
        
        well, you know i could grant you permission (via email) to access a portion of mine and you could test it. - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:07
        
        right. stupid tru. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:03
    - but maybe i am reading this wrong. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:38
