CEDIA 2010

Swiss Army Multimedia Center

No, it’s not made by Victorinox, it’s made by Cirago – but it has so many features it could well be considered the Swiss Army knife of multimedia centers. For $249, the Cirago CMC3000 starts off as a 1 TB NAS drive with a 1080p HDMI 1.3 output with built-in LAN networking, analog video recording, internet radio station access, and a slew of supported video formats (including H.264, divx, wmv, mkv, and mov). You can also watch Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube video using PlayOn (the box includes a $20 off coupon) or TVersity. It even comes with a real, adult-size remote control instead of one of those cheap tiny things you usually get with these types of devices. Pretty cool.

WOW look - its everything the apple tv should have been... a big boy remote FULL HD resolution not just crippled to 720p as being good enough. I know they have a following/fan base ( apple that is)but I never agreed with their good enough approach. And here's proof you don't have to either. I wasn't familiar with Cirago till this post - but I'll have to investigate them much more!
