Time (Saver) Capsule
Live Design: "Ok. A lot of time has been spent in this column over the last couple of years singing the praises of Apple, Inc. One day we’ll have to do a column complaining about how Apple changes the display connectors on every new model. But, for today, a few more praises."

a terabyte? jesus.
I find it interesting the direction apple is going with these multitaskers. I do not want to live in a world, though, where my entire life is wrapped up in one piece of equipment.
I really agree with laura that it would be really unfortunate if every different item was contained in one simple device, it is already scary enough what an iPhone can do. However I think that this is a very smart combo, it fills an important niche where building servers would be cumbersome and overkill, but a networked storage system is also needed. These are an affordable option for people who don't have a degree in information systems, who need the abilities of a sharable hard drive and a fast LAN.
Very smart move by Apple, as no one really has a hand in this kind of market (harddrives with ethernet/wifi access, not theatre). It's funny because I read an article a few weeks ago about this Taiwanese company was going to be making a wifi/ethernet access drive and everyone was singing its praises.
I wonder if you can get AppleCare on it..
It works with windows now? Hrmmmm.
I thought it was for time machine backups only, not other random storage. If it changed, then now i really want one.
This device would be great in my house. My family has a desktop PC for general use, but my sister, stepdad, and I each have laptops for work/school. It would be nice to have access to photos and files across computers (2 PCs and 2 Macs). I'd imagine many families would find it to be useful.
First it's a Terabyte unformatted so 750gig usable. I really like this coming from Apple (and you all know how I love Apple). I can't see it doing much for me because I backup over the internet with dot mac and I hacked it so that time machine works over IP. But to share files back and forth it would be hard. Time machine and Apple like to use one backup for one computer so you would need to, well do things that make it clunky for sharing. I'd just swap HD in my Mac Pro or use an external drive or network drive.
