Linksys KiSS DP-600

Paul Westbrook | 09 January, 2006 20:00

Linksys is coming out with a network DVD player that supports HD DVDs (in Windows Media Video format) and music files.  It has a 802.11g connection to access the video and audio files.  In addition, it can access the Internet to access online weather forecasts, games  and Video-On Demand.

It looks like it used to be the KISS DP-600, I assume that Linksys just bought it.  Unfortunately, it looks like this is only available in Europe.

Oyster Speakers

Paul Westbrook | 09 January, 2006 19:10

I listened to the Geek News Central podcast recapping CES, and it mentioned Oyster Speakers.  It sounds like they will be coming out with speakers that will get the audio from a 802.11 signal.  They mentioned that it is possible to use them as a stereo setup, or in a surround sound system.

They mentioned that the speakers would be available later in 2006, and would be about $500 for a pair.  This would be a lot cheaper than the Polk Netstreams speakers.

Hopes for the MacWorld Keynote

Paul Westbrook | 09 January, 2006 13:28

I am hoping that Apple announces a new Mac mini, that comes with FrontRow installed.  Since I have decide to move most of the external facing services from my server at home to a VPS, the main thing that my server is being used for is hosting my music.

If Apple announces a Mac mini that comes with FrontRow, I would go out and buy one and put all of my music on it and connect it to my TV.  Also, the DVI connection and the 1920 x 1200 resolution, would allow videos to look great.
