  • Abstract:  Battlemodos give you a clear sense of what's good and bad in a gadget category, but there's no way to include everything. Consider the $99 Asus O!Play the new champ of HD video players—better late than never. The Old Champs If you remember t...

  • Fileformat support, Network port
  • DVD Players are far cheaper
  • You can connect this to your TV and settle for some quality multimedia time, secure in the knowledge that you can throw almost any file at it for playback. It is priced low enough to appeal to the target audience. But remember that it is not positione...

  • Der O!Play hat zwar einen Bug, der zu Problemen in Verbindung mit Windows-7- oder -Vista-PCs führt, dennoch ist er ein toller und besonders günstiger Media-Streamer. Speziell die Unterstützung vieler Dateiformate und der E-SATA-Anschluss sp...
