Motorola showcases USB-powered Media Mover
We didn't think much of Motorola's MCU3E (MCUBE) wireless transcoder when it was launched as a prototype late last year, but obviously Moto's got dreams of seeing this in homes around the world. Showcased at this year's Cable Show, the rechristened Media Mover is a USB-powered device that not only transcodes media on your DVR, but also broadcasts said media (transfer or streaming) locally or remotely via WiFi or Bluetooth. Dave Zatz reported that the quality was actually pretty stellar, and while the company wasn't exactly forthcoming when it came to hardware specifics and availability, we don't suspect it'll be too long before the company comes right out with those very details. Check the read link for a few more hands-on shots.



















First!
No, you didn't win the prize.
This better be cheap and work with hdtv. As well convert straight to matroska.
WTF... it looks like a Dell 1750 faceplate.

Chris,
Why are you not in gulag?
His boss said he could leave the prisoners for a while and take his lunch break.
Looks like a Dell server face
You beat me to it.

Motorola should could sell this to the countless Japanese makers of Fembots so they can adorn their mechanic creatures in the correct spot while also adding some nifty functionality.
make that a "should", this thing distracted me.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this looked like a Dell server.
Looks like a Dell Poweredge server for sure...Maybe dell should buy what is left of motorola and use this device as Dell storage.
So it's a less useful Slingbox?
If it could be used to encode versions of the media to be saved as mp4 then I might be interested.
It's totally a Dell Poweredge. :-) That is so funny.
