Lenovo rebranding storage products, demotes Iomega to entry-level gear
Remember when Cingular became AT&T, Federal Express became FedEx and RIM became BlackBerry? The next company that'll need to reprint its business cards is Iomega, which is seeing the bulk of its products rebranded as Lenovo EMC. The Iomega name will still exist, but only as the face for entry-level storage gear, while the StorCenter and EZ Media and Backup Center lines will now carry the livery of their corporate parent. Curious about the company's history before it became a marque? There's detailed PR after the break.
EZfetch Wireless HD Digital Media Player gets reviewed
Truth be told, we were pretty intrigued by the sheer quantity of features and the very respectable price tag affixed to the EZfetch Wireless HD Digital Media Player, but according to a review over at Networking Audio / Video, there's a lot left to be desired. Of course, the device seemed to have no qualms playing back video over a wired connection, but the lackluster audio streamer and underwhelming photo viewer started putting a real damper on the party. Worst of all, reviewers never could get the unit to function as advertised over a wireless network, which we assume would be a huge selling point for many. Granted, we suppose another unit in another setting may set up just fine, but we'd recommend giving the review below a once over and doing a bit more digging for user experiences before pulling the trigger on this one.
EZfetch Wireless HD Digital Media Player gets official
We certainly haven't been starved for media streamers of late, and if you reckoned the feature-packed EZfetch Wireless HD Digital Media Player would be priced right out of your league, guess again. This multifaceted unit, which appeared just days ago on the FCC's website, is now officially available to anyone interested -- and for $249, no less. Yep, for the price of a (likely sold-out) Wii, users can can pick up a snazzy streaming box that pulls in content from Nokia N-series mobiles, PCs, NAS drives and a slew of WiFi-enabled devices in order to light up your living room TV. Furthermore, the gizmo plays nice with more formats than you can shake a stick at, and it's shipping now to those who simply can't resist.[Via eHomeUpgrade]
