Syabas' $130 Popbox video streamer, everyone
The hardware itself is just your standard equipment beefed up a bit for 1080p@100Mbps support. Video is outputted via either HDMI or component video, while RCA analog and SPDIF handle the audio. Two USB ports and an SD card slot provides local storage support and an Ethernet port gives it network access.
The device should be out in March with an MSRP of $129. Hopefully Syabas has plans and partnerships in place to get this device in the mainstream consumer market channel (read: Best Buy) and not rely on just the Internet and specialty shops for sales. Many people are looking to ditch subscription TV and besides the upcoming D-Link Boxee Box, there aren’t many other devices as polished as the Popbox available.
