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...

ASUS shows far-out "Aura" concept phone

Feb 6th 2007 12:23AM on Engadget

just so everyone is clear... ASUS manufacturers the macbook

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
