I've never used Openfiler but I agree with expanding the storage with iSCSI, though iSCSI traffic should not be in his local network.
Each disk node should have dedicated 1Gbit connection without switches between the master server and the disk node.
If direct links are not possible and switches are needed, those should be manageable and configured with iSCSI in its own vlan.
Also important, unbind all other services from the NIC dedicated to iSCSI.
The disk node can be connected to the local network using 10/100mbit card for management via ssh etc.

I think that surface-mount usb power connector will fail eventually since the images seem to show it not welded through-board.
Maybe they'll fix it on later models.(or it is already, but I'm not seeing the throughwelds from the pictures)

'The 9/11 commission concluded America's number one vulnerability during the attacks was the lack of interoperability communications,' writes Vernon Herron, 'I spoke to several first responders who were concerned that their efforts to respond and assist at the Pentagon after the attacks were hampered by the lack of interoperability with neighboring jurisdictions.'"
Wikipedia quote:
TETRA was specifically designed for use by government agencies, emergency services, (police forces, fire departments, ambulance) for public safety networks, rail transportation staff for train radios, transport services and the military.
This is widely used standard around the world despite the slight downsides of the system.
Anyone want to guess if US government goes with standard system or decides to spend few hundred million to reinvent the wheel?

Why VPS? You can get real machine from ovh for 18/month with better specs.

I dont think engineers and such have ever been target customers for Apple.
But if you mean image/video field workers as professionals, then you probably are right.
Apple product lines are just following the industry trend of consumerism and becoming more targeted for home users, rather than enterprises(for which they never were targetting to begin with).

Debian testing should fit those requirements nicely. It's stable enough to be run in non-profit production.

The interesting thing about Nokia today seems to be their patent portfolio.
They own 70% of relevant mobile patents.
You need to license them if you want to manufacture/sell mobile phones.
Their stock is extremely undervalued and even with the 12-month high/average(which is higher) takeover-protection, Nokia might be target for corporate takeover soon.

> Just get an iPad, a keyboard case, and buy one of the MANY VNC / SSH applications for the iPad.
You cannot put iPad in your pocket.
You don't need to pay extra for a proper keyboard on N900.
You have MANY VNC/RDP to choose from and ssh application for free on N900.
You can get N900 for $200 used.
Those two devices are worlds apart.
