WiFi + iPod Walkman from Sony
Check this out. A portable handheld 20GB hard drive for sharing files on a wireless network. Nice.

I'd always dismissed the wireless iPod rumors as nonsense.

If you look around the Japanese site you can find a flash animation about why you would use it. The gist of it is that this is a way to circumvent the IT people who block you from accessing your company server from outside the firewall.
Why is this better than a simple portable FW HD?
Or as pointed out above, just carry your laptop.
It is kind of itneresting but I don't see the crying need it serves.
It says round about $585 plus $60 for the cradle.
