Crave unboxed the new Popcorn Hour B-110.  I posted about the release of the B-110 here.   The B-110 is a mini-ITX board that will allow you to add it to your own case to build your own system.  They have some info on the B-110 but mostly it’s some really nice pictures of the [...]

Popcorn Hour has released two new products.  The new A-110 and the B-110 baseline.  The A-110 new features include
HDMI has been updated to the 1.3a spec, allowing full support of HD Audio pass-through for DTS HD-HR, DTS HD-MA, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD. The ports on the device have also been reconfigured, with a [...]

Crunch Gear has a video of the new D-Link DSM-330. It’s a DivX Connected device that is supposed to be easy for developers to write plug-ins for the device. It does look like a nice device but I don’t think it has enough for me to purchase it. It will be interesting [...]

The new LG BD300 will have a feature to watch Netflix movies and TV shows through it.  Netflix has the same feature through the Roku box and the Xbox 360.  This might be enough for me to pick a my first blu-ray player.  I like when I get extra things for me money.   Right now [...]

Dell has the Linksys DMA 2100 for $150 after $100 instant rebate.  $150 is the price the extenders should of been since day one.  I wouldn’t wait too long if you want one, I don’t know how long this will last.  The DMA 2200 is also $100 off which makes the price $249.  The 2200 [...]

Engadget asked what you would change about the Popcorn Hour.  Since I have posted many videos on the Popcorn Hour I thought I would give a little summary of what was said in the comments.  Now most people that I have talked to about the device use it for HD content.  I am not one [...]

Dell will be releasing a firmware update for multi-touch on the Dell XT.  I’m a little disappointed because I have access to about every Dell laptop but this one.  I’ll have to place a call to the Dell Rep and see if I can’t get one to borrow for awhile.  The video below shows some [...]

I have been playing around with a digital photo keychain from wholesalekeychain.com for a couple of weeks now.  I posted a video review below.  I did want to write out a few things about the digital photo keychain though.  I was surprised how rugged the little screen was.  It didn’t even have a single scratch [...]

Roku has released the GPL for the Roku box.  This is good for people that want to add additional features to the little thing.  One group that is looking into it is the MythTV community.  They have realized that the $99 Roku box would make a perfect MythTV extender.  I’m hoping other groups look into [...]

I finally installed a hard drive inside the Popcorn Hour. It is only a 80GB hard drive but I wanted to use the device for BitTorrent. It seems like it buffers things faster now too. I don’t know if it actually does or if I just think so. Check out the [...]
