The ASIAir is a bit of a toy too, IMO. I looked into using one with my Star Adventurer set up and came away unimpressed. Just off the top of my head... It has very limited storage, especially since it is designed to work with cameras that are likely to be taking lots of short subs. Another thing that disappointed me was that it only works with USB3 cameras but actually only does USB2. Also the CPU doesn't look like it will have the grunt to do much.

I'm sure they will make some improvements to the firmware over time but I think it will take better hardware to make it a workable proposition for wider acceptance.

Cheers,
Rick.
