It takes an Internet/LAN connection and/or a USB drive and shares it wirelessly

Addonic has released something that is not quite a wireless router but acts like one, at least for whatever Wi-Fi enabled devices are nearby.

Basically, it's a Wi-Fi hotspot (takes an Internet cable and shares it over the air) that also has a USB port and a card reader.

It doesn't support Gigabit Ethernet, sadly (only 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections).

The IEEE802.11b/g/n standard is supported, with a range of 150 feet / 45 meters, although walls and other obstacles will reduce the range.

In the best-case scenario, you can hook the thing up to the net and plug in a card and USB flash drive too and enjoy the data on all of them at once. You and your friends can all access the same thing or different files at any time. All for $49.95 / €49.95.
