I currently have it setup to work with my iPad/iPhone. I usually stream movies and for that I use the AirVideo app on my iPad/iPhone & my laptop. My HDD is plugged into my laptop. You just need to setup the folders you want to access on the HDD/laptop then leave the laptop switched on. Then you can access the folders via the iPad/iPhone & play the content over your home wifi connection. It also allows you to access the content remotely from anywhere as long as you have a data connection. There might be a similar solution for Andriod devices but I haven't tried that yet. My next plan is to buy a media drive that I can setup directly with my wifi router. Then I won't have to bother with switching on the laptop. The media will always be accessible over the home network.
