Anyone who knows me. Knows I have a particular softspot for toys that can be altered to do tasks other than originally intended uses.
Devices like: Tivos, Linksys' WRT54G, Some GPS devices, iPhones, iPod Touch, The original Xbox, etc.
I've found another that could be fun to play with. Recently I stumbled upon a page with lots of great info and tools about the western digital mybook world edition. Which happens to run linux so there are all sorts of options there...
If I were to get my hands on it I'd attempt to get rsync running on it to do automatic backups of things like my photos and music and so on... I have already configured a computer to do just this for me, although only for photos. But this would be a nice stream lined self contained small device to do the same thing...
