Terapin Mine Review

Posted by timothy on from the does-the-mine-get-the-shaft dept.

Ian Bell writes: "Designtechnica has just posted a review of the Terapin Mine. This handheld device has a 10gb hard drive, ethernet port, PCMCIA port, USB 2.0 and a front display. On top of all this it has a Linux OS installed complete with scandisk and defrag. You can hook this unit up to your television to view pictures as well. I know that the stats on this unit sound great, but you would be surprised by just how usable it is. Click Here for the full review." Whether it's 10 or 20 gigs (the review mentions both figures) doesn't really affect the reviewer's conclusion.

    Way too big, way too heavy, too much extra crap that's not needed for a portable storage device.

    Would this thing have gotten a good review if it were running WinCE instead of Linux? And if so, would Slashdot have linked to the review? I'm guessing no.
