Celrun TV HD Multimedia Player Supports Almost Every Codec Under the Sun

8:25PM Haroon Malik | The Celrun TV multimedia player comes equipped to the back teeth. The HD multimedia player totes Ethernet, WiFi b/g for basic, network accessible storage; digital and analog TV tuners, IPTV support, DVR functionality, 320GB HDD, two USB ports, as well as RGB, S-VIDEO and HDMI outputs. Add to that the ability to playback H.264, WMV, AVI, Xvid, MOV, VOB, MPEG1/2/4 and a whole host of other supported codecs in between, the Celrun TV is certainly a souped up performer on paper.

Motorola Z8 Uploads to YouTube/MySpace/Flickr, Still Looks Like Banana

7:29AM Seamus Byrne | We saw the Motorola Z8 before, with its banana-ish sliding body, but Motorola seems to have added some new software features since 3GSM. For the specs, it runs Symbian OS, HSDPA, 2.2-inch screen, 30fps video, 4GB microSD card, and movies thanks to Universal, Sony and Warner. There’s also streaming video from Sky or CNN over its 3G, complete with a mini DVR-like system that you can watch shows anytime. It’s Moto’s multimedia-centric phone, which changes its form depending on what function is in use. Better yet, there’s YouTube, MySpace and Flickr uploading. It does more than that. More »
