Review: $99 TonidoPlug Linux Home Server, NAS
,----[ Quote ]
| The TonidoPlug falls into a relatively new
| category of âwall-wartâ form factor
| computers. They are generally defined as
| being cheap, low on power consumption (in
| the single watts range) and fanless. Most
| plug computers, as they are also called, are
| based off of the Marvell SheevaPlug
| reference design. The difference between the
| TonidoPlug competitors like the Ctera
| CloudPlug, PogoPlug and Globalscale GuruPlug
| comes down to the bundled software and
| services. While they all essentially run on
| the same hardware, each has its own set of
| pre-installed applications in addition to
| services (some are paid) that do things like
| facilitate file and media sharing from
| outside the home network.

Panel: Smart consumer devices market to explode

| Open-source software has also been maturing
| for the last decade, and now has passed
| Microsoft in keeping up with usage trends,
| according to Michael Kress, senior director
| at Canonical Ltd., a provider of support,
| engineering services and hardware and
| software certification for the Linux-variant
| Ubuntu.
|
| "We are taking the best of all the open
| source software available today and bringing
| it together into a single platform. Linux
| continues to evolve, coming out with a new
| version every six months, unlike Microsoft
| which is much slower to respond," said
| Kress. "We think that Linux is the oneâwith
| Android, Amigo and Ubuntu leading the smart
| devices revolution."

Intel's Moorestown Atom launches -- without Windows

| While all the above was expected, the shocker
| is that the Z6xx has been launched with
| support for three flavors of Linux --
| Android, Moblin 2.1, and MeeGo -- but nary a
| mention of Microsoft Windows. This arguably
| represents the biggest rift in the "Wintel
| monopoly" since the IBM PC was first launched
| in 1981 with Intel's 8088 CPU and Microsoft's
| MS-DOS/PC-DOS operating system.
