There is no doubt that the mobile market has gotten huge. Everyone is building devices to enable, extend, accessorize, and maximize the mobile experience. Mobile data usage (which really means media consumption) has gone through the roof. What is interesting about the usage numbers is that they are not all 3/4G in most cases the data is flying over public or private Wi-Fi networks. This has opened up a market for a new class of device and as you might imagine manufacturers have stepping into fill this need. The first generation was all about getting the media to your device, but was limited in a couple of ways; you could not expand the memory and also there was no way to prevent battery drain on the device you were using to access the media. This is where the second generation comes in; devices with media ports instead of fixed memory and also the ability to charge your mobile device. Today we are taking a look at the ADATA DashDrive Air AE400; let’s see what it brings to the table.

The Box and Goodies -
The DashDrive Air AE400 comes in a box that gives it an interesting look. At first glance you might not think the AE400 was computer related. However, looking closer at the front of the box shows you what it is intended for even if the clear view of the AE400 does not. ADATA made sure to put the usage in right under the name and also threw in a couple of pictures near the bottom just in case.
The back has more information and some additional items that will be certain to come in handy later. This is a QRC code that will make it much easier to get the DashDrive Elite software on your phone, tablet or media device. There are two separate QRC codes on the side that will get you to either the App Store or the Google Play store as well.
Inside is a small book, the DashDrive Air AE400 and a USB cable. This is pretty much everything you need to get things going. Now let’s dive into what the AE400 has inside.
