The Popcorn Hour A-200 is the latest media streamer they offer. It offers faster processor, more RAM and more flash memory over the previous model. At $179 it has the same hardware as the $300 C-200. The C-200 has a LCD, which is bad, and HDD quick dock but I feel the A-200 is the better buy. MediaSmartServer.net has a review of the A-200. The biggest pro with the Popcorn Hour units is media format playback. They can play almost anything you throw at it. There is also a new Flash UI that is coming to A-200 and the C-200.

Last100 has reviewed the MediaGate MG-350HD. MediaGate is a sponsor so lets hope the review isn’t to bias which after reading it I don’t think it is. They do mention a lot of the MediaGates features but it looks like it isn’t all there, especially against the AppleTV. I posted about the MG-350HD with a review from PC Mag. If your not tied into Apple or iTunes this is a good choice to get content to your TV. Below is the video walk-thru I posted before.

This is a cool little media box. I don’t think it will replace the xbox 360 or appleTV but it does support a lot of audio and video formats. It has up to 400GB hard drive. There is a video of it below. It’s not in English but it’s better than me posting a bunch of pictures.

With all the new releases by Nintendo today I thought I would share something you can do with your Wii while you are waiting for the retail launch of the new products. Everyone knows that the Xbox 360 is the best media center extender but what if you only own a Wii. The programs listed below will get your started, streaming about any type of content to the Wii. Each program has it’s pros and cons. I suggest trying each one until you find the perfect one or combination for you. My personal favorite and the reason why I put it at 1 is Orb. But after 1 the list is in no particular order.

1. Orb

2. Wii Transfer

3. Mii Music

4. Viewii

5. FineTune

6. Wii Hear

7. Wii Media Center X

Well webwire has an article that says LAPTOP magazine awarded the Netgear EVA8000 the best of CES in the WiFi category. I’m excited for the launch of this product. The formats it supports are great. Below is the available formats it supports:

If it could support iTunes files then you could kiss appleTV goodbye. The neat thing about this is it links back to your computer (network) and gets a list of digital media. It organizes it in the on-screen menu on your TV. Well I’m definitely interested in purchasing one. I’ll keep everyone posted when more info is available on it.

Netgear’s site has some good info on it already. Still need the shipping date and price.
