gizmodo.com — "It has a built in network iTunes client, so it'll show up as an iTunes client to your PCs. And it has a BitTorrent client that can rip down 7 streams automatically (and 10 FTP or web streams at the same time.) That's with your PC off, all downloads handled by the router. And there's a lot more. Too much more to share before the jump."

I'm usually a dupe-hound... But in this case, that description sucks and doesn't even mention the itunes client, nor did it (nor will it) make front page. On top of that, this is a gizmodo article which gives different commentary.

@sych0The router has usb storage expansion options. I also wouldnt doubt that someone figures out how to replace the internal drive with something larger.

Sure (if you can write a driver)

It's a device with potential. I'll be keeping an eye out for more like this. Not sure I'm quite sold on it yet, though. Can't afford to be an early adopter right now.

I built a computer to basically do all this, cost me near a thousand bucks. Of course it has 1500GB of RAID5 storage, and I can play games on it, but still... $250 is a sweet price for all you're getting.Anyone know how many external HD's you can hook to it, and if it supports RAID5?
