New Iomega line sexy as hello... What up Netgear???
Seriously, I've been using the 6-bay Ultra+ model for almost a year now. No problems. An absolute pain to set up though. And also STILL NO 64-bit OSX Remote support. It's been well-past time for that!...
mdgm, while I agree with many of your points (and I respect your vast contribution here) what I think what Intergr8d is saying is: (reading between the lines)
"look it is 2012, while most can be done from the command line, Netgear is losing traction with the prosumer who likes modern guis and enhanced widgets/apps. If you are correct that they are working on it... Intergr8d is just saying, look all the competition has leaked/released/beta'd something for enthusiasts, and for engadget/slashgear/pcworld to oogle over, and Netgear at a very least should share with us (their most loyal customers) as a sign of good will.
SO what if they let some cats out of the bag on new hardware, interface, apps, or all of the above. Competitors are already light years ahead in terms of that, and aren't going to copy new functionality overnight. And if they do, so what again (thunderbolt, quadcore, insert new feature here, are all common knowledge anyway) ReadyNAS team at Netgear can advertise that they are a leader, not a follower.
On the same point, readynas.com is looking tired, and could use some fun posts, and a cleanup of old apps and articles.
And if the entire team is flatout coding/quality controlling/tech-supporting, hire 3 summer web/pr/twitter interns or 1 full time guy, but do something."
mdgm: Side note, Lion and RN Remote didnt work until March this year.
Intergr8d: I actually do not like iomega, their look and support are lacking, I do think http://www.synology.com/dsm/index.php?lang=us DSM4 looks hot
anyone else: I constantly see comments about apps and bells and whistles being unnecessary, well then look at RIMM, they make calls and are secure, but everyone is going with iphone/android, because they are more than functionality. design+function+stability is important, hopefully Netgear reacknowledges this moving forward.
