Playon!HD Mini Takes On The Best HD Media Players

It’s a bit pricier than our favorite media player, the O!Play at $144, but the miniaturized Playon!HD from A.C. Ryan does include support for internet streaming services, NAS and USB attached storage along with 1080p. https://gizmodo.com/asus-o-play-review-best-priced-hd-video-player-is-the-5415699 Basically, PlayonHD Mini is a smaller version of A.C.

Amazon Disc+ on Demand: Buy a DVD or Blu-ray Movie, Stream It Instantly

This is awesome and just plain makes sense: With Amazon’s Disc+ on Demand, when you buy a DVD or Blu-ray movie, you’ll be able to stream it instantly via Amazon On Demand. So far, they’ve got this going for a few hundred titles it looks like, and it’s restricted to the US, but hopefully it…

What Lala Means for the Streaming Future of iTunes

It still seems strange, on the face of it. iTunes is the ginormousest force in digital music, beaming out billions of bits a day. Apple paid $80 million (maybe) for Lala, a streaming site you’ve never heard of. Why? https://gizmodo.com/apple-is-now-in-the-streaming-music-business-5419424 First, let’s look at what Lala is.

The above quote comes from Anne Sweeney, president of the Disney-ABC Television Group, whose daughter insisted her dorm room did not need a TV thanks to Hulu and other streaming sites.

You Can Buy RocketFish’s $600 1080p Wireless Kit Now, But You Shouldn’t

Belkin’s Flywire 1080p HD streamer was canceled, so if you want a device to stream 1080p from one side of the room to another side of the room (up to 33 feet away), Rocketfish has one today.

Okay, It’s Time to Break Up With Hulu

Hulu is the best video site on the internet. There’s a price though, for being able to watch 30 Rock whenever we want. And clearly, it’s going to get steeper. Hulu’s corporate masters have reared their dragon heads from time to time in the past, like when it nuked Boxee and PS3 access, so you…
