ZapStation Price Cut, Linux-Only Version

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday April 10, 2002 @06:02AM from the stuff-to-get dept.

Richard Robison of ZapMedia wrote in to say that their ZapStation stereo MP3 Box has had a serious price cut to $599. If you put in the comments field 'JUST LINUX' they will ship you the box with just Linux installed (and code to control the IR input and screen). In other words, a $600 stereo component PC ready to connect to your TV and speakers for whatever video or audio projects you feel like rolling up yourself. I reviewed this unit last December and found a lot of problems, but many of those glitches have apparently been fixed, and the price was the biggest problem, so this thing may deserve a serious second look this time around.

There was a discussion about this before. Apparently it's a joke. A poor one, but a joke none the less.
