This looks VERY cool. I'd like a Mini-based version of this with direct access to ITMS and iTunes. Looks like all the Mini is missing hardware-wise is the A/V output. And the remote. That's not too much to ask. Front Row already has a remote. Put an iPodesque interface to it... Maybe next week?

Zensonic - Z500 DVD Network Media Player - MSRP: $299




This player plays AAC, FLAC, WMA, WAV, Redbook, AIFF, and many more, plus multiple playlists like M3U, PLS, ASX, and the picture formats like JPG and TIFF.

For video, it will play MPEG1, 2, 4 and WMV, including the high definition encoding in both DivX and WMV.

With a USB 2.0 port, any portable storage or digital player that appears as a mass storage device can also be used.

It also has an 802.11g wireless and 10/100 Mbps ethernet.

All file types can be accessed and streamed from your central music server using either connection.

It has a nice looking GUI to address your files, or even view stock and weather info. The front panel is able to display ID3 tag information, in addition to normal functions.

The player can also be controlled via an external PC or Mac.

I wonder if someone could control it if they detected the HotSpot?

looks similar to the Roku PhotoBridge HD, line of products:

I've got one of the SoundBridge 500 units, works great with iTunes, small too.
