Lisco USB Snake Combines Jewelry, USB Cable in One Wearable Device

Popcorn Hour adds new media hub for pre-order
Popcorn Hour has put two new items up for pre-order on their website today, including a revamping of their popular network media hub and a “barebones” version for users who want to use the hardware to build their own designs.

The new A-110 changes colors to a sleeker black and adds support for HDMI 1.3a output through Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio and other related lossless surround formats. The model also now has support for both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch HDDs, optical SPDIF for audio, and adds a USB 2.0 port to the back of the hub for users who want to keep it “hidden” from view.

Popcorn Hour continues to sell well and is in high demand due to its low price and its ability to support more formats then say, the rival Apple TV device. Popcorn Hour is one of the few media hubs with the ability to natively play Matroska and XviD and also offers direct access to YouTube and Vuze.

Users can share media over a wireless or wired network from Windows Media Center PCs, DLNA or Bonjour. The A-110 can also act as a BitTorrent client or a NAS device or even a web sever although you will need to add a hard drive yourself.

The A-110 is up for pre-order now with a $215 USD price tag but with no set release date.
