The specs mention usb 1.1. I dont think that is a great deal breaker for me. Just let it beconnected overnight if you want to Xfer large files. In my case, its mostly music or videos and most of the files need to sync'ed only once.

I'd avoid it for the same reason I'd tell people not to buy a 770: the new one is much better and doesn't cost all that much more.

For one thing, PP3 has a "regular" Intel CPU, therefore runs an almost standard Linux distro and will run any x86-compiled software.
