Wow now that is a nice interface
Readynas is OK! The only thing that lacks is a really cool and nowadays interface. the new 3.0 interface of synology nases blows me away. I just like i am in windows. http://www.synology.com/...
This thread has been going on for quite a while and I'm sure NetGear would be aware of the demand for a new GUI. I'd love to see a redesign, but at the same time I wouldn't want to see them rush one out that's not a good job.
Different companies have different priorities and I certainly wouldn't consider the GUI's appearance anywhere near the most important decision when purchasing a NAS unit, but I can understand that some of my fellow users disagree with me.
If NetGear does a redesign properly, to design Frontview so that it'll work better on the iPad and iPhone (perhaps even make an iOS app) and other mobile devices and perhaps to take into account the possibility of redesigning it to allow more efficient management of multiple devices, there'd be a lot of work involved. Not just designing the face lift, but also considering the large number of scripts that Frontview runs and rewriting all of those to work as well as possible with the new GUI.
I also think NetGear's made it fairly clear with the release of its new products recently what they think of eSATA but that's been discussed in other threads (though of course their opinion could change on this).
