I’m not sure whether opinions like this will hold any merit in the long run, but if you’re an appleTV fan you have to be worried…that is, unless you are an AppleTV owner using Boxee, in which case you aren’t really concerned. That being said, I’m sure I’m not the only one who would be willing to pay for a […]

No screenshots of what the user interface looks like here, but at a price point of $199 it better be darned snazzy. Also oddly omitted is the filetypes of video that are supported as well. Hopefully it will be thorough given the numerous card formats it supports for direct playback…but let’s wait and see.   SlashGear It includes what Kodak […]

Neuros has been around for a while in the media extender world, and have done a good job of allowing the community to really let the product evolve as necessary. Looks like they’re continuing with that trend and are looking for feedback from everyone. Sad news is this will not be another $99 box, but not sure just how high […]

The fun part about these extender battles is seeing how newcomers all try to one-up each other in price and features. Which in the end, benefits you the consumer…assuming the technologies survive and don’t break, of course.       Engadget Priced at $99, this internet-to-TV media streamer makes it simple for simpletons to get web content onto their HDTV, […]

How about that, another week and another Media Extender device is announced. This time from a company called Brando, where apparantly showing your bare naked hard drive is appealing. I don’t know about you, but my gf would kill me if I tried to stick this on my entertainment shelf. Engadget Following in the footsteps of the very recent Multimedia […]

It seems like every week there are at least 3 of these types of extender devices released, which is great for the consumer as that should keep driving the prices down. If it does make it to the US, I’d implore them to replace […]

This won’t give y ou any flashing lights that you so desparately crave, but fortunately it does seem to bring quite a bit of file compatibility with it, and for a very affordable $100. With every non-MCX extender that comes out for $100 I just dream of what could have been for Media Center Extenders had they not been so […]

Remember that little Roku box that brought you Netflix and….um…Netflix? Well, they’re not giving up on it yet, and have announced a deal with MediaFly to integrate some nice online video content. These types of devices must be feeling the pressure with so many TV’s adding similar features, but it’s hard to argue against the Roku and its very reasonable […]

Engadget is not very excited about this new release from Creative, and I have to admit. At $150 it sure doesn’t seem to do very much. Something like the Logitech Squeezebox would seem to be a much better (and more attractive) deal, no?   Engadget The company has this week announced immediate availability of its Sound Blaster Wireless for iTunes, […]
