Sherwood Announces iNet-2.0 Digital Media Player

Sherwood America announced today two components that bring streaming Internet content into the home one for the tabletop or bedside, and the other for the primary audio/video system. The RD-7505N A/V receiver is one of the first to accommodate the new HDMI 1.4 3D standard, providing three inputs with repeater and a single HDMI output. With 110 watts per channel, this 7.1 channel receiver decodes both the Dolby TruHD and DTS HD lossless audio formats. Without a PC, it makes access to streaming Internet audio and video as easy as selecting another input. Scheduled to ship in May 2010, MSRP for the 7505N is $499.95. At first glance, the iNet-2.0 appears to be just a digital photo frame or clock, but it houses a powerful Internet music player and iPod dock. Expected to be available in May 2010, MSRP for the iNet-2.0 is $299.95. Both products will be on display at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The iNet-2.0 digital media player is a highly versatile and useful entertainment delivery device, combining an Internet radio, iPod/iPhone dock and a 8-inch digital photo frame in a sleek, attractive package. Connecting easily through a wired or wireless connection to the Internet, the iNet-2.0 receives streaming stations worldwide. On demand Audio playback is also available through Rhapsody and Napster services. Its built-in stereo speakers are driven by an internal 10 watts per channel amplifier. With Apples Made for iPhone and Made for iPod certification, the iNet-2.0 provides playback from both Apple devices through its built-in dock. The iNet-2.0 can play back MP3, Windows Media, AAC+ and RealAUDIO audio files. When not being used to access media, the iNet-2.0s 8-inch panel can be used to display photos, turning the device into a sleek digital photo frame. 1 Gigabyte of internal storage can be used for photos and media storage, and inputs include a USB Host version 1.1 and a SD/SDHC/MC card slot.

Cowon Officially Announces V5 HD

Cowon Officially Announces V5 HD

Today, Cowon officially announced their latest PMP, the V5 HD. Remember that vague commercial which was leaked last week for the Cowon V5 HD which featured two people in a library? Turns out, that commercial still doesn't make any sense, but we do have a few more details on the player now...

The V5, which measures in at 128x82x15.7mm, features a 4.8’ (800x480) touch screen TFT LCD, a massive 45 hour battery life for audio (10 for video), full HD H.264 playback, HDMI output, supports virtually every codec under the sun, and will be available in 8,16, and 32GB flavors.

On the software side, the V5 HD has a picture frame mode, flash support, a world clock, calculator, notepad, RSS reader and many other apps you'll probably never use. Interestingly, the V5 also seems to be running WinCE 6.0, which we would assume means there is the potential to run some WinCE apps on it as well.

The V5 HD is slated for release in South Korea on January 1st, 2010. Prices start at 299,000 KRW (US $253) for the 8GB unit
