I'm well prepped in case of an internet blackout: can use neighbours wireless connection at a pinch (10Mb) and if that goes I have 4TB+ of stuff ripped from my DVD collection and available to stream by various devices in the house. Barring an electrical blackout, I'm all set for entertainment, and even if the electric does go out a candle paired with a good book is a pretty nice "last resort". :D

Actually I have 24TB on my server/NAS, but the NAS serves one purpose and the internet another. You can't do facebook, talking to people, multiplayer gaming, forums, or remote server administration on a NAS.

Yeah, and I'll bet it runs that awful Symbian firmware or some recent derivative of it. :)

Remember that a term like "available almost anywhere" is very vague, so your definition is a mobile phone while mine would be something more useful like a MacBook Air. Both are highly portable, so both of us are right even though our definitions of portable vary.

Not everything is a conflict Masque, nor does every statement exist to prove a point. Some observations are just observations, and people can draw their own conclusions. Or not.

Depends on the definition of NAS, I guess. 24TB is pretty impressive though, wish I had that kind of capacity. My NAS is software RAID via Windows 7 (surprisingly good), shares via FTP/SMB and also doubles as a HTPC, but I'm stretching the definition a bit really. :)

If it can connect to a Virginmedia mast it has a connection on its inbuilt wifi and it can connect to any other free wifi available, so it will work more or less anywhere and it is still a lot smaller than even a Mac Air as it fits in a pocket.

I can access anything I want and even use a version of mobile office if required as for it being symbian based it does the job without any issue.
