Netgear’s new 1080p network streamer

From Gizmodo:

Netgear’s new Digital Entertainer HD device has been caught in the wild. It is said to be able to support 1080p video, which it can do since it also sports draft 802.11n wireless networking. Features include DVR capabilities (though additional requirements are substantial), a possible content deal with BitTorrent, as well as the ability to scale all video to your HDTV’s native resolution (including the aforementioned 1080p). This looks to be a really interesting device, especially at the reported $349 price point. Streaming devices were all the rage at CES this year, so in order to stand out, the devices must pack some serious functionality. This box from Netgear seems to fit this description. I am looking forward to seeing what the production model can do.
