Very clever of Popcorn Hour to delay the announcement of their A-200 Networked Media Tank until after CES. They must’ve known we’d be scraping the dirge off the bottom of the gadget barrel.
Following their cheap-as-chips Popbox streamer which was shown off last week, the A-200 is for the more serious viewers. It streams from not only computers, but also digital cameras, network storage and USB storage, plus websites such as Videocast, CBS and CNN. No Netflix support yet, like the Popbox had, nor Twitter and Facebook support – although an App Centre is mentioned.
Check out the specifications on the handy chart below, and if the A-200 is to your taste, pick it when pre-orders begin on January 18. The basic box costs $US179, but for an extra $US20 you can also get a Wi-Fi attachment. [Popcorn Hour via Electronista via Engadget]

As an official Australian reseller of the product line, we’re really excited for our first batch to land beginning of Feb. Our pre-orders started flooding in yesterday. We’re throwing in the wireless dongle and free shipping to anyone who wants to order one now.
Cheers, James | Eljo Media.
