Eeestorage - online harddrive by Asus

Well Asus has something new:

According to a report, the computer-maker has launched a service called Eee Storage, which provides 20GB of online storage for Eee PC users, as well as access to downloads of around 3,000 pieces of free software and games. The company hopes to expand the service -- which uses a drag and drop interface for file management -- into a full blown "store" where users can download music and "various other content."


So let's check that new thing out: http://www.eeestorage.com/


So what do they promise:
- 20GB Ultra Luxurious Storage Capacity
- Most Intuitive File Management
- groupshare
- downloadcenter
- security

Mmm, smells good, but hey what is this, I found in the Terms of Service:

eCareme Technologies, Inc. ("eCareme") will provide at least 18 months of free services, but remains the right to charge on the services in the future. Changes to charging conditions will be published on our website and made known through e-mails to "Full Account" members who provide e-mail addresses. We will then request our members to confirm the registration data and pay the charges in a specific period. If you do not pay the charges in the given time, we will assume that you give up your membership and will terminate the Service.


You acknowledge and agree that we may provide 18 months of free services, but remain the right to terminate such services after that period. If we decide to terminate the Service due to certain reasons in the future, the announcement will be made on our website 90 days prior to the termination. E-mail notifications will be sent to “Full Account” members who provide e-mail addresses. Please make sure that you backup your data frequently to protect your rights.


The "it's free for now, but we will charge you later on" policy does smell a bit burned doesn't it? But still, let's try this, you never know ... where is my Eee PC User Manual for the account activation code.
