Anyone trying? I'll keep my finger cross.

First of all, how much is it?

hmmm.. the enclosure is fitting another HD?

Someday all TV will have this piece of PCB in them making budget media players obsolete...

Looks interesting indeed. Supposedly will have HDMI, component, composite, Toslink, Ethernet and two USB connectivity. WiFi is optional via a USB WiFi adapter that will be sold separately ($69.99).

Design wise, looks ok with good thought put into the connectivity with a Seagate FreeAgent Go drive.

Reading the article, it appears pricing is expected to be $149.99. A bundled all-in-one deal for $289.99 includes a 500GB FreeAgent Go drive.

No clue yet as to the playback formats this bugger will support though

Not bad... got UV neon somemore

gaya mesti ada

not sure how it sounds though

does not look so good ler....
unless it price way low... otherwise with almost similar pricing... alot better looking player are getting on the market

I wont be buying this, as I am happy with my WDTV so far.

If I wan to buy another, probably will be the ACRyan. or maybe bite the bullet to dvico, Since K8118K & Gang keep telling me how good it is.

aim higher mah.. dune!

agree... acryan would be a good choice... i had a preview of it at commex in SG last weekend.

dune reserved for the elite. farmer like me can only do WDTV, and pretend he get the same ohh-ahh from AC3/DTS

So many HD media players lately. Saw one at AllIT LY yesterday, no brand name at all, just written "HD Media Player" or something. A quick glance at the specs, it has HDMI and plays MKV and RMVB, etc. Priced as RM349 if I can remember correctly.

Since there are going to be new batch of media player with better chipset coming, will the price of WDTV or ACRyan drop?

another Clamul

forgive my noobness in this item , so are we supposed to just hook this thing up into LCD tv and play ?

all i need is this device + HDD then transfer rmvb files and connect to my tv and that's it ?

AC Ryan/Xtreamer + other Realtek chipset player should do the work just fine.
