XML FeedsRouter, NAS, Mobile Internet and other reviews
While I've not been blogging I have been penning stories for a number of magazines and online publications over the last few days.
Over at Australian Macworld, I've penned this story on how the iPhone has shaken the mobile market.
More interesting, in our view, is the number of downloads from the App Store — ten million on the opening weekend. Now that's a market change worth looking at.
APC has popped a few more of my reviews up covering three different product categories; routers, NAS and mobile Internet.
Billion BiPAC 7300N: a good all-round modem: Billion's BiPAC 7300N is packed with enough features to support the needs of almost every home or small office user.
Three Internet Key: hassle free mobile internet: Three's Internet Key is dead easy to set up and delivers great performance.
SMC Wireless Barricade N Gigabit Router: fit the internet in your pocket: How does SMC try to stand out from the crowded router marketplace? With a great all-round router that includes scanner sharing.
LaCie 2big network 2-bay NAS: 2TB of 'safe' storage: LaCie's 2big network ticks the right boxes for perfomance, looks and ease of use.
Thecus N3200 Home NAS: securely store and deliver data: Made with the home user in mind, the Thecus N3200 NAS ticks all the boxes.
Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Broadband Router: now with added gigabit: The Linksys WRT310N builds on the success of the WRT160N.
Happy reading.

· http://www.freesydneywireless.com I read your review of the SMC Mini WirelessG Barricade router in APC and Australian Macworld (and have to admit, got a little excited...).
It looks very similar to the Open-Mesh Accton device (except the WPS button on top). Do you know, is this also an Accton manufactured device, or are SMC and Accton using the same casings?
Since you reviewed it in an Australian mag, I assume it has an ACMA C-Tick? The Endy/SMC site only states CE compliance, no C-Tick.
We would want to use the Open-Mesh device, but it is missing a C-Tick. If the SMC is identical or similar to the O-M device, we could use the SMC device and flash it with O-M firmware, though it is a bit more expensive than the O-M device.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
JJ
