Netgear Mac-related product announcement tomorrow.

Mon, 12/08/2008 - 9:24am — Cleve Nettles

Tomorrow, Netgear, at Barclays Capital Global Technology Conference, is going to have a few announcements. We've been told that they have a specific new Macintosh related product that will get some airtime.

Anyone hazard a guess as to what it could be? Might be big...might be small. But we've been told, by an official source, that:

" I just found out from xxxxxx that there will be a specific Mac-related product announcement at the event"

Hopefully it is a fat ReadyNAS that comes at a reasonable price - and it is in the blue business color - we don't trust the white consumer stuff anymore...

That is all....

Who cares? Not like they can

Who cares? Not like they can show us anything we haven't seen before. Yet another wireless this or networking that. Meh. It's probably a portable router that can also make phone calls and they'll bill it as an iPhone killer. Seems like everybody and their brother is jumping on the smartphone bandwagon these days.

bandwagon

The bandwagon got really crowded when Apple joined, it was just perfect before their stupid iPhone. On the wonderful proton and leapfrog where are you now?

The Proton and Leapfrog were the first two models of blackberries, those were their internal code names.... they had those awful scroll wheel buttons... the pearl is much nicer... Once the Thunder gets a revision and comes over to Rogers I am sure to get one... stupid iPhone.

The first three in the bottom

The smartphone bandwagon was really nice until Apple came along with their revolutionary "iPhone" device and messed it all up. It's upset me so much I've decided to go insane.

The NAS allready works under mac

How about a VPN

ReadyNAS that works with Mac...? Which one doesn't?

I'd much rather see a Netgear VPN firewall with wireless-N and gigabit ports that supports the built-in PPTP and L2TP clients that come with Mac. Throw in a Mac compatible IPSec server on the device and a compatible IPSec client and I'd be in heaven, Netgear.
