I'm pretty sure that the format for this type of comment/reccommendation blog is all wrong. I am also interested in seeing what the contenders are but the scrolling through notes + banter is a little confusing + disorganized....

solution...
I think a matrix of features + devices would be a better solution. I"m not sitting on the solution im simply proposing it...


for example...

joe s. says the FreeCom Media player is the best...

andy h. says the ability to play 1080i is the most important fetaure to consider...

ok... so as people comment (vote for) a specific unit, that unit gets added in the left hand column, and the features that are (voted for) are added to the top rows... thus it is a user generated comparison grid. it is also merged with a "poll" so that users can vote for their favorite player + feature. a rating system would even generate an "ideal choice"...

ok so there is significant amount of programing required here, but im sure its a better solution.


for those interested in a list of available players click below. I found this list while searching for 1 of my own....I'm sure its not a comprehensive list, but that goes back to my comments above...)

Im personally currently leaning towards the buffalo linktheater device which has a on-unit display. I also like the form factor that matches the rest of my AV components.

my 2cents...


just so everyone is clear... ASUS manufacturers the macbook
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
