i dont know how old this is, but its pretty cool if you havent seen it yet, its supposed to cost around 250 dollars

the ability to BT and the 160gb hdd makes this very attracting too bad i don't have $ to spend right now

 

BTW wwhat happened to spell check

[solidius23]

that looks like a worthy investment.

You could build a PC and run a Linux fileserver/router for much cheaper. Neat toy, but a huge waste of money if you're capable of doing what I just said (Anyone is, provided you aren't too stubborn to learn)

I was going to say something like that myself, that what I did before and works it like a charm and I even host my blog on there.

 

that router can't even do PHP and MySQL (or pgsql even) so the router is no good for professionals really and html is not interactive on it own (without PHP or ASP).

Agreed.

 

Other things to consider are that the BT client is not updateable with new BT tech (e.g. encrypted transfers) and why add in the cost of a 160GB HDD when I would want one bigger than that to start with?

 

I am waiting for the 11N standard to finalise before buying a router.

When I move out from here I'm probably going to built a small, cheap, Shuttle PC to serve as a wireless server.

sometimes its just nice to be able to buy it already done for you, even if you could do a better job

 

either way i wont be buying it, Im switching to Wireless A...screw this 2.4GHz garbage
