A storage apparatus is proposed for facilitating wireless communication between a computer device and one or more external portable electronic devices, or between those external devices. The storage apparatus includes a wireless transceiver for entering communication with any of one the devices. When the storage apparatus is communicating with any of the devices, it can transmit to that device any data stored in its memory for transmission to that device. Furthermore, the storage apparatus can receive from that device, and transmit to its memory, data to be relayed to another of the devices.
