@spartandre217 Who said anything about Android? ;-) I don't care what OS it is, really (I have a Pre). I just wanna hear some announcements with the next-gen of processor tech.

@scld -EVO. . . .I just don't need to pay extra for 4G just yet. I wanna see a dual-core snapdragon 4.0 qwerty slide out phone. . . too much to ask?

I'm really, really, really trying hard to hold out for the next high end Sprint phone that's not the EVO 4G, and I really want it to be HTC who delivers.

@Darth Stewie is this still within the 30 day window? oh snap, I might return it

@jonyah You would think that they would start to innovate. I love Sony hardware, but it's notoriously overpriced and I picked up my Kindle 2 on refurb a couple weeks back and love it.

Maybe I'll give this one as a gift and buy v3? hahhaha, just kidding. . . .?

Is the media library functionality even close to XBMC?

@aubreyq hmmm, I get about 40-45 MB/s, which is enough for streaming 1080p. Also, I don't do much transferring from the device on the fly (meaning, they're overnight syncs or backups). That being said, the usb functionality of these would be very nice.

Maybe when everything is broadcast in 2160p and we have 50MPixel cameras, I'll need another 4-6 bay NAS and I'll pick one of these up!

@aubreyq Won't complain about the expense. . . . but what about it is lame? I mean, if it's the fact that you believe all NAS devices are lame, then there's nothing to say.

In comparison to the particular device on which we are commenting, the DroboFS seems like a better fit.

(I do realize the CPU may be better on this Netgear device, so if you are doing transcoding and file decompression on it, it may be a better choice, ...but I doubt it?)

@Mr Oblong I don't personally use torrents on my box, but I have read about good progress with a Transmission app for the Drobo. The DroboFS is damn expensive, but cheaper than this with more storage capacity.

I've got MediaTomb running DLNA to my roommate's iPhone and my PS3 and I won't be regretting this purchase anytime soon.
