Make sure you check out the POPBOX coming out in March, announced just a little while ago at CES 2010. This box does it all with internet video, Netflix, Photobucket, Twitter, Facebook, blip.tv and much much more. It even has a USB slot so you can connect an external harddrive and have it read your videos from it. Just in case your wondering, it does Divx, Xvid, .MKV, .avi, .m4v, .mov, .flv and even does pictures and audio!! Coming out of the back of this thing, HDMI, Optical Audio, Component video, stereo audio out and an ethernet jack to stay connected to the net. You should check out the website PopBox.com for full details and sign up for email notices when they start shipping in March. How much you ask? $129 for the wired version and $149 for the wireless N version.

iTunes online
0So, now lala is now property of Apple. Did anyone notice what happened to the Apple’s website, specifically the iTunes section? They now have iTunes Preview. Basically if you don’t have iTunes or want to download it, but you want to hear a preview of the song your looking for, you can now hear it without having to have iTunes installed on your local PC. The only thing that doesn’t work is buying. You still have to have iTunes on your PC to make your purchase. So when you try to buy it, it links directly to iTunes and loads up the page inside of the app.
I must have missed the announcement, but still this cool to see iTunes online. Check out the Preview on apple.com/itunes
