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.

  4. Why so much hype about a portable hard drive? by iamacat · · Score: 0, Troll

    Basically, it doesn't do anything besides store data from different places. Whatever OS it's running, it sounds like you can only access it through menus on a tiny LCD which is unusable for real apps/games/etc. For just storage, people might as well get iPOD or Archos MP3 Jukebox. As for digital camera, how many 128M storage card does one really need for a trip? I really have no clue what's so exciting about these thing to be mentioned on Slashdot so many times
