These would be great as network storage solution thats really flexible. I was considering one of these and hooking up a bunch of external drives to it, to manage backup solutions for my laptops and also to serve virtual directories off of it, so no matter what laptop I'm using i have access to files, without having to leaving a desktop running all the time.
Plus the thing that this would give me over say a NAS, is the fact that its running an OS, and I can set it up to download podcasts and manage music, etc. Plus it'd be far easier to slap new USB drives onto this thing via a hub to raise my storage capacity.
I've bought one and I can say it's really great for leaving on 24/7 for it to download anything you want it to, It takes up NO room, it's low power consumption is amazing, it's noiseless and it runs Windows XP really well...I don't use a screen with it, neither a keyboard/mouse 'cause I watch it through netOP if I have to, everything I can say about it is possitive! The only problem I had was the customs fee I had to pay to bring it here which made it expensive to pay overall even if I didn't think of it as expensive without that fee.(74 euros customs fees for Greece). It arrived here in a week, Diskless as I ordered it, now it's packed with a nice IDE SSD and I'm enjoying it...
During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data.
