Gateway Wireless Connected DVD Player Reviewed

Posted by simoniker on from the duh-vuh-duh dept.

Anonymous Howard writes "Designtechnica has a review of a Gateway ADC-320, a home theater device that will play not only DVDs, but media clips off the network. Supported types include DivX, Xvid, Mpeg1 & 2, MP3 and WMA. The thought of a networked media device is not new, but I'm curious as to how many people actually own one? How well do they work? What are the best ones? Is UP&P support worth the extra money? Is this the future of all DVD players for the home theater?"

    ...a home theater device that will play not only DVDs, but media clips off the network. Supported types include DivX, Xvid, Mpeg1 & 2, MP3 and WMA. Unfortunatly, in trials it attract large herds of cattle.

    How long before these devices are all black labeled or, simply squashed by the Media Congloms, or legislation?

    Now on the Coolness, factor alone. DAMN!! I want one. I can see this as a great boon, to non pcliterati, and hardware crusty's as well. I just have to break some hardware here at the house to something like that under wife-radar.
