How is this powered? I read through specs and several reviews, but I can't discern how it gets power. Does it have a battery/rechargeable? Does it have to be connected to a power source via usb? I want to know how "portable" it is... thanks!

It's rechargeable by plugging into USB Port like on a computer/laptop. Or you can charge it via USB Charger (Wall Outlet). Normally takes 2-hours for a full charge.

It is charged with a built in recharable battery. Can charge by plugging into a USB charger. It also can be charged by connecting to USB on your computer or Laptop. It is a longer time to charge via the computer or laptop.

a battery rechargeable, just plug in to a usb port and will charge. I use mine for short periods while I transfer videos or pictures from the iPhone to the usb like 10 - 20 mins then I turn it off, probably two hours or so I've been doing this procedure.

It has battery. The battery is good for about 2 hours.

It has an internal battery that charges via USB. So it charges as your uploading files to it but you can also charge it by plugging it into a usb wall wart. I don't believe it can be charging and broadcasting wifi at the same time. I think we get around 6 hrs of use on a full battery before it has to be recharged. That was on a recent trip with multiple devices streaming from it at the same time.

Basically the flash drive is powered by the usb interface. Every usb capable device gives power thru the usb port. When a usb flash drive is pluged into a usb port, it gets powered automatically. Hope it helps solve your question.
