what about direct USB play? WDTV can do that. Imagine you borrowed a Terabyte HDD from a friend and wants to play the video files in the Maxtor External harddisk. Can you just connect the external HDD to OPlayer and play the files? Dun tell me u have to connect it to your PC and stream the files 'effortlessly' to the OPlayer!

"Users can simply download and keep the multimedia files in their notebooks or PCs and still be able to enjoy them through the O!Player HDP-R1, be it in the living room or study."
