So from my calculations the touch WILL act as a general purpose NAS at
2.65MB/s (from what I have read elsewhere)in all honesty this is
quicker than my current NAS which is a WB MBWE (Mk1) so yes things have
come on but as long as you dont need the speed then it could be used.

Hi, DOes anyone know if I can buy a Touch now. I know it's not been
released yet and I don't mind waiting, but I have the money now and
don't want to spend it on anything else and I'm keen to avoid the
inrease in VAT at the end of the month in the UK

I guess if they haven't taken your money yet then you have not entered
into a contract yet and the vatman will be after 17.5%. if that is true
then hopefully

As I understand it if you are invoiced before VAT increases back to
17.5% then you pay the lower 15% rate.
It is the invoice date that is important, not the payment date.

If I buy a new NAS (as I also have run out of space so need to invest

Not according to the beta testers, it will only access locally mounted

Andy, on an earlier comment I made, will the touch be able to run as a
general NAS albeit not lighting quick? I'm assuming so. And when you say
it will make the touch very slow, wheres the bottleneck going to be?

So if you are willing to manually set things up and live with the
limitations of a remote database there is nothing stopping you from
doing so. Go for it.
