The Xtreamer therefore performs several unique advantages over competing media streamers :

(1) unlike the WDTV - the Xtreamer has both wired/wireless lan connectivity at 802.11n standard.

Just tried to order it(a dummy order), and it was 100 euros. 20 euros for shipping, and it was 20 euros irrespective of number of pieces. Maybe we can buy it wisely!:clap::clap:
 
Not available in India, only online. I think we should arrange a group order. That way it should b cheaper.That is because there is 20 euros of shipping, whether one piece, or hundred!

EDIT: if 802.11n is there, who needs BT? ( although contrary to this, BT in a low power device makes more sense). But any small device can not compete with utorrent!

arrey bulb!
i know BT= Bit Torrent.

Downloading to a PC is easier than to a device IMHO. and 802.11n means u can have wireless connectivity, without buffer lags...

That is what i said to the contrary..low power device helps in downloading..

I tried ordering it, and increased the number of wifi antennas as well. I tried 3 antennas and still they were free :). One basically needs 2 antennas for creating a VPN as mentioned in their site!

No reviews yet. Read on avsforum/avforums that the xtreamer for review was sent to a site( forgot the name). And those peeps have taken a sabbatical until July. So they say review will be out only by the end of first week of july.
 
Although the specs look really nice, i suggest let some reviews start floating on the net and then buy.

Btw, any place i can see the pics of the product (not gui screen, actual product)
