I have a 1TB omega drive sitting on my home wifi net. Are there any iPad apps that can help me access it? Thanks

FileBrowser is what I use with my NAS. You can watch movies, pictures and many types of documents with it. You can also use it to access and change stuff on your computer. Great app!
I already have a sizeable external hard drive so it makes more sense to make this network enabled rather than cough up for a seperate NAS solution. Would you envisage any problems using such a solution? Is it worth giving it a try or opting for something like the iomega straight away?
Many Thanks..... Craig
Apple should heed to this.
Hi RAC,
here is the link to the device I mentioned earlier (I have a high enough post count now to post links ;o)
NAS adapter for USB 2.0 storage 10/100Mbps: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
As you see, it is a fairly simple and cheap method to connect any USB device to a network (external hard drives, printers etc).

I meant to say that you could buy the NAS "converter" for now and still keep the old USB drive, plugged into the USB port, if you update to a full NAS later. It's useful for initial file transfers and possibly for backups as well.You can plug other drives directly to the Western Digital Worldbook Edition NAS via USB.
