XBCM 10 Dharma

Long time XBMC users - and everyone else looking for one of the most complete and useful media center software for their living rooms - can now see what the XBMC development team has been working on so hard for the past months: XBMC 10.0 Dharma.

There are many new features: such as the easy to use add-on system that allows you to enhance your media center experience with just a few clicks; new codec support (including WebM/VP8); improved ahrdware acceleration in both windows (DXVA2) and Linux/OS X (CrystalHD); blu-ray support; and much more.

Cheap iPod Touch Lookalike

If you're looking for a portable media player but have a limited budget, here's a iPod Touch lookalike that might interest you.

Take a look at this Touchscreen Media Player which might resemble some "other models" you've might have seen elsewhere. :)

It supports several audio, video and photo formats, like: MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE, AAC, MPEG(AVI), RM, RMVB, JPEG, BMP, GIF.
It also has some games, voice recording, and lots more features that might interest you (or not.)

Of course, no one in their right mind would consider paying $200 or $100 for such a player; but if I told you can have this player for less than $50, maybe you'd be interested.

In fact, you don't even have to pay $50, as this 4GB MP3 "touch" media player can be yours for just $40.24 (with free shipping from Deal Extreme .)

Popcorn Hour A110 - now with WiFi .N

My favourite media player, the Popcorn Hour A110 (sorry, portuguese links - you can autotranslate it using the google link in there) just got even better. Though I've been very happy with it - they even added DTS downmix recently - there was one thing missing: WiFi.


Sure, 1TB internal storage is a lot - but most of the time its boring to copy stuff over just to watch it downstairs... away from an ethernet connection.
Also, streaming 1080p content over WiFi .G isn't enough for high bitrate movies, so... the ideal would be to have a WiFi .N (up to 270Mbps) connection to it.

Well, maybe it's our Christmas present... Popcorn Hour now has a WiFi.N USB dongle: the WN-100.
So, every A100/A110 can now definitely be considered the best there is, allowing you to watch HD movies and TV series no matter where you are, over ethernet, using its internal hard drive, or over WiFi.
