Now that my household is desktop-free (with his-and-her’s laptops), it’s difficult to share photos, music, and documents across our wireless network. I previously had Orb running on the desktop, which allowed me to share files as well as use my at-home desktop’s TV-card to watch TV anywhere, including via capable mobile devices.
At some point in the near future, I plan on adding a Network Attached Storage device to my network. My criteria is the ability to access files across both my network at home and anywhere via the internet, the ability to stream media off the drive, and the ability to automate backups. I’ve created an Amazon Listmania for “Networked Attached Storage” to help share my choices with everyone. Fell free to use the list as well, and comment in the links here with your own feedback, comments, and suggestions.

We’ve already seen some of the things, like integration between Mapping and Calendar app in recent Apple patent filings. Some new patent applications from Apple reveal even more.
I have found myself increasingly lusting for a netbook. The only thing holding me back, save a lack of funds, is whether or not the smaller sized keyboards are useable. It’s no surprise that netbooks are extremely popular, given perfectly appropriate feature sets at affordable prices, putting mobile, wireless computing in reach of those typically left behind.
If you’re not sure if a netbook is for you, DVICE has a rundown of common features and Lifehacker runs down their list of top five user-submitted faves. On the basis of specs, considering weight, keyboard size, battery life, options and features, and filtered for price, I think my top five choices would be the Samsung NC10, the Lenovo S10, the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, the Acer Aspire One, and the ASUS EEEPC 1000HE.
