Error 404--Not Found

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

Seagate's DAVE separates hard drive from the mobile phone

Storage vendor Seagate is hoping to revolutionize this market by announcing its DAVE (Digital Audio Video Experience) device at DEMO 2007. Formerly known as "Crickett," the palm-sized device separates storage from the mobile phone yet gives users an additional 10G to 20GB of space to play with. Wireless connectivity (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) lets users play the content on their phone while the file stays on the DAVE hard drive. An applet that sits on the mobile phone creates the user interface for users to manage the digital content.

From Seagate's perspective, having large amounts of storage available for users at the endpoint helps revolutionize the market. Cable TV, for example, saw an uptick in usage once the personal video recorder allowed shows to be saved to a hard drive. Music downloads took off once MP3 players had the ability to store lots of files in a portable format. Likewise, having extra storage available for a mobile phone, yet not adding to the bulk of the device (keeping it mobile), may spur users to download music and movie services from a mobile carrier.

That's what Seagate is hoping, at least – the vendor plans to offer DAVE to carriers and mobile handset OEMs for sale under their own brand names – Seagate itself has no plans to sell or market this device on its own. "This device allows carriers to monetize their next-generation networks and offer their customers a rich media pipeline," says Rob Pait, director of global consumer electronics marketing at Seagate. The company says it plans to offer DAVE to manufacturers for resale in the second quarter of 2007.

The big question is whether mobile phone users who often complain about having to carry multiple devices around with them (mobile phone, e-mail device, MP3 player, digital camera) will want to carry around another device, and one that is only used for storage.
