Remote Shoppe has several Crestron press releases today. Crestron introduces a two way iPod interface: Link Crestron introduces the CEN-IDOC, the first 2-way iPod interface, truly replicating the iPod experience on any Crestron touchpanel. Integrating the iPod into home audio systems is one of the hottest trends in the industry. Until now, consumers were unable to manage their music libraries, […]
Read moreAMD Live!is set to support both next generation DVD formats by Q3 2007. I am not sure exactly what that means because you can take most HTPCs and a player and have it work. Perhaps they are indicating that they will have better hardware acceleration by that time. Regardless of the announcement, we already know that we will have next […]

I remember when this device was first shown, it was so slick & sleek, I wanted one, but just couldn't justify spending $200 on a keyboard (with some mouse functions, sure). Well, maybe this review will convince you to splurge on a late Christmas present. Pricing aside I can honestly say there is little to complain about with this keyboard […]

Storage is something we all need more of, kinda like money 😛 Well, NASes have gained a lot of popularity in the last year, and Synology (who?) have come out with a NAS that allows you to install whatever size HD you please. Not bad to drop a 750gb in there & let it stream to your heart's content. But […]

Kinda common sense really, TiVo better be better for $600 box & $13/mo compared to the Cable Co's $10/mo fee. And it is, but is it *that* much better to balance out the cost? Hopefully it at least […]

This is a really neat gadget, assuming of course you have the budget for it. Price isn't mentioned in the article nor on the product's page, but I'd imagine it'd be up there. If your 42-inch plasma isn't getting enough oohs and ahhs from your neighbors, maybe this will. The Zgiga TV 2 is a hyrbid TV/shelf unit that combines […]

I'm really not sure the demand for this type of device, but I'm not surprised to hear that it has speed issues over wireless. Plus, are you really going to trust your backup USB hard drive to backup all your files without a hitch through this? How patient are you going to be just to have this wireless? Oh, yeah, […]
Read moreThe potential with UMPC's is there, it's just a question can they become affordable. But how cool would it be to integrate this bad boy into your home configuration–stream tv, control everything–since it is basically the size of one of those expensive remotes. 🙂 The Medion MD RIM 1000 UMPC sure beats the Samsung Q1 and Q1b, and perhaps even […]
