So, I have pogoplug(which is cheaper), which is similar to this. Their software is really bad and it's get disconnected all the time, so I don't really get that cloud benefit I was expecting. I would wait to see review in some respectable site before I actually buy. As for price, I don't think it is as cheap, but I suspect they put good components in it. So if it is, as good as they claim, once people have it, if they say it is good, I would be happy to have one of these.
Here are usecases for me:
I need place to store backup of my pictures,
I would love to have something that would download torrents for me
Central place for text files and such that I use dropbox now, I simple wish more private place for it
Music, yeah if there is space, sure
Currently my PogoPlug is plugged in with two external HDs, has space for all my audio and ebooks, plus pictures, but like I said, it is flaky and I don't really use it as much because of it.
I really love some of ideas people suggested (forgotusername), I think there is business to be made there, as if my friends are having a device and can share with me stuff, I will get same device to be able to share and connect with them.
Check out arch Linux for arm at http://archlinuxarm.org/
They've got a really awesome walkthrough and several guides. Not to mention they are constantly updating and expanding the packages available. I installed it on my pogo and haven't looked back.
Hey, so I found that, I ssh into it and I only have busybox, when I ran pacman, it is not present. I guess I need to research how to install it. But I kind of left it at that.
Overall I would keep pogoplug services, I would like to add torrenting for example.
