Seagate and Verizon go Bippity Boppity Boo on what used to to be just a plain old Go-Flex Storage Device. This new CES 2012 announced product has 4G LTE integrated into it. They are calling it an industry first. It is a portable, rechargeable battery-powered storage device with up to five hours of battery life that can emit a Wi-Fi b/g/n signal for accessing content on the device. It is compatible with any and all Wi-Fi-enabled iOS and Android phones and tablets that utilize a browser. There isn’t a ton of details on it just yet, but here is what we do know straight from the horses mouth:

Expand the storage capacity of your mobile device with enough space to enjoy over 300 HD movies on an iPad or Android tablet.

Download music, movies and photos over 4G LTE and stream it all over Wi-Fi for up to three of your mobile devices. It becomes the perfect road-trip companion providing hours of entertainment for the kids.

Use the lightning fast Verizon 4G LTE network to connect to an endless library of entertainment in your pocket and provide Internet connectivity for up to three Wi-Fi-enabled mobile devices.

Also in the GoFlex add on line up is the GoFlex Thunderbolt Adapter for $99 and Desk Adapter for $199. These allow Mac users in on the fun of GoFlex Thunderbolt. They will be available within the first half of this year. For more info see here.Google+
