I want to summarize the exact features of the Zotac Zbox HD-ID11 before I go on gushing how incredible it is. This device got a small form factor, low power consumption with 1080pvideo playback capabilities and quiet cooling.

But one of the highlights of the Zotac Zbox HD-ID11 is the Ion 2 Processor (though you have to add your own RAM, storage and OS). This device is also great with playing Blu-ray-formatted movies and although the Flash hardware acceleration is not yet functional (which means it can result to only 480p resolution), a NVIDIA update later on will rectify this issue.

The Zotac Zbox HD-ID11 just started shipping last April for about…

What we are all looking for in a media player is its ability to shoot in high-definition quality, and then later view it on a larger screen through an HDMI port. Unfortunately, this Digital Cube’s iStation T9 fails to bring the HD into the picture.

The iStation T9 has the same features as almost all portable media players. It even has codec support to every conceivable format out there, Bluetooth as well as WiFi connectivity. This device has a 4.3-inch, 480 x 272 screen that is actually quite perfect for some users like me, but impossible for most techie geeks that would like an HDMI port somewhere in this gadget.

There’s no…

The MyRacer line from Lissie just got an update with a new five-inch 720p PMP called the Lisse H10. And it looks like the thing might actually work since this Lisse MyRacer H10 HD WXGA looks better in my eyes.

This music player has a tiny 1280×720 TFT LCD screen with a resolution worthy of a 13-inch notebook. It has a HDMI port, FM radio transmitter and voice recording. But the best thing about this media player is that it is compatible with almost every video and audio format you can think of: RM.RMVB, AVI (Xvid, DivX), WMV, ASF, DAT, MPG, MP4, VOB and SMI for videos and MP3, WMA, AAC,…
