Zonbu

We here at WhereWasItNow have been looking at a new device which may represent a new shift in home computing. With the Ubiquitous nature of Broadband and the miniaturization of computer components, the need for storing data in your computer is not only unnecessary, it may not be the most secure way to go.

The Zonbu computer has fast flash memory on board for storing the most used data on your machine, however your most important data is seamlessly backed up on Zonbu's servers and protected from disaster by a team of trained technicians. It is automatic.

Leaving on vacation and don't want to leave your photos and music behind, the information backed up on your Zonbu is available securely online.

The specs show the device to be quite small and it is reported to be silent. No fans.

We will keep users posted on this device and include pricing information in future posts.

If we can get a unit into the lab we will run it through it's paces and post an in depth review of the device. Until then here is a link to a video showing the interface and software available.

Update: This computer supports Apple's iPod and can be had for less than 100 dollars with an inexpensive subscription to the backup and support services.
