We won't front -- our heart goes into overdrive each time Japan's own
Digital Cowboy births a new product, and we're especially jazzed about its latest
Movie Cowboy. Known for introducing markedly outré home entertainment gear, the company's freshest piece is an iPod-friendly HDD-based media streamer that inexplicably boasts branding from DC Comics. So far as we know, the DC-MC35ULI doesn't come loaded with a director's cut of
Watchmen, but it does provide room for a single 3.5-inch hard drive along with an Ethernet jack, USB 2.0 sockets, coaxial / optical digital audio outputs, HDMI, a few composite hookups, iPod streaming and charging capabilities and support for an array of file formats. Still, for ¥24,800 ($255), we'd definitely expect some built-in storage... or the promise of eternal invisibility, one.

If you want to have a good laugh, go to the product's website and read their translation for the product.
My guess is that Digital Cowboy (initials "DC") just misappropriated DC Comics' logo to represent their brand because they were too lazy to create their own brand identity.
Eternal invisibility? Really? How... Emo of you.
"I don't want to be seen EVER AGAIN!!!"
I would rather be invincible, or imortal, would probably settle with filthy rich and a cave full of fancy toys.
If you were invisible, you could steal all the money and toys you want. AND no one one would miss you when you went to live in your cave. Duh.
detail- notice DC Comics' logo has the oval going the other direction. also, as kevin said above, DC= digital cowboy. not sure how dc comics' lawyers will see this...
DC Comics has prior art [snicker!] on digital cowboys too. They sent Jonah Hex to the future *decades* ago.
"loading Dock for iPod onto the heaven surface"
lol
Looks like a vaporizer.
This thing is absolutely ridiculous for the price unless it perfectly plays 1080p mkv, flac, and has a kick ass ui, otherwise I can build an XBMC box for about the same price and stream everything from my NAS.
Still only highend docks made for iPhone only,.
Proof of superiority !
Internal Storage... isn't that what the 3.5" hard drive is for?
