VIDEO - Hopper GO

[harshness]

Mention has been made that the Hopper Go has a hard drive. Is it really a hard drive or some manner of solid state storage (I'm thinking flash memory)?

+1....I have the same question & feelings as well.

My question is can you keep the Hopper go device plugged into the wall socket and keep it charged so you can use it for longer than 4 hours of battery life? I have an 8 hour job and spend most of it watching m I-pad to fill out my boring security job and this would be great if you could. Also can you use this device without upgrading to the hopper 3 ?

Yes to both.

Looking at the size of it I believe it's flash memory not a hard drive.

With folks using these things in airplanes and hotel/motel rooms I wonder how much of a problem it will be with it creating its own WiFi hotspot and interfering with the those being provided for other users?

I understand it searches for the best and clearest channel at startup.

I don't imagine that there would be a lot of competition in either scenario as compared with a series of office suites or an apartment complex. Probably not a hugely powerful radio.

That was my reasoning.

I know it is not going to happen, but if I was also allowed to add my own content this would be perfect.

My current setup is a 64GB flash drive and an Hoo Too Tripmate router (http://www.hootoo.com/hootoo-tripmate-elite-ht-tm04-wireless-portable-router.html) for my family to use on road trips/vacations.

The other choice would be to stick with devices that support removable storage.
