New Time Capsules to Run iOS on A4/A5 Processors?

I'd prefer if they offered a mirrored raid option for more data security.

RAID is about availability, not really security. Also, if the box is closed (which is what Apple does) that would further limit it's utility.

I'd like to see Cloud backup ala Crashpoint and an Apple Home Server so that I don't need all these redundant hard drives.

Man i hope this is true. I just bought a AEBS. I really wanted to get a Time Capsule but was swayed by all the negative reviews. So if they roll out a new line of Time Capsules then i'm stoked and will return my AEBS. :) :apple:

I have a Pogoplug Pro and while I think the hardware is fairly nice their iOS software is pretty bad. I've struggled for months to get it to work reliably over 3G and day-to-day I never know whether it is going to work or not. It's really ashamed since they had some good ideas but they never seemed to be able to get their service to work well under iOS (YMMV, some have reported that it works well for them). In any case, if Apple introduces some type of home server that can stream content out over the internet then I'm going to give my Pogoplug a quick kick to the side of the road.
 
How do you think it'll work if you have multiple accounts throughout the household?

Will the cloud be able to provide streaming from all official media even if it's a combination of two accounts worth or would you need to pay for two?

Sounds interesting though and will check in tomorrow to see what is revealed.
 
Time capsule

Really do not want to purchase a time machine unless reduce cost like apple tv 2. I can use 3rd party apps to stream video and music with much less cost.
 
I think this will be the new Apple TV.

Steve Jobs hates excessive devices, and I think he sees both AppleTV and Airports as excessive in one living room - too complicated to wire, set up, etc..

Might as well add Apple TV functionality to Airports, since the hardware is similar anyways, and most people get Airport extremes instead of Apple TVs.

This could really kick-up the sales of the Apple TV concept.

Apple TV costs are horrible in the UK.

$99 => £84.87

£84.87 == $138.41

ok... but still.
 
So I guess no Time Capsule updates whatsoever this time around. Too bad - this was probably the rumor that I found most interesting of all.

Hope they just weren't ready to announce and iOS based iCloud-enabled TC is still in our future!
