The On3 does not require a computer network, and if implemented correctly, can act as both a backup drive and a media player.


Highs: Runs Samba for file sharing; supports viewing and listening to movies, pictures and audio

Lows: Audio playback is lacking in features; remote suffers from lag issues

Summary

ID3 tags, playlists, and instant access to music are some of the things that make digital music systems so appealing compared to traditional CD players. With the FIA On3 not offering any of those digital enhancements, most music lovers might not find much of a reason to purchase the On3.

 

However, the On3 can be quite a useful device for a number of people. With so many people owning digital cameras and so few of them backing up their pictures, it is only a matter of time before their hard drive fails and they loose all of their important images. The On3 can help digital picture enthusiasts effectively “kill two birds with one stone”; they can have a safe, and easy to use backup drive as well as a way to view their images on their standard or high-def display.
