HP today announced the MediaSmart connect, a device that will turn your television into a central location to view pictures and videos stored on your home network.
The MediaSmart connect which goes connected to your HD Television (also works with standard definition tv’s) also is connects to your wireless or wired network, it then searches for pictures, videos and music and gives you easy access to those files from your television. The MediaSmart connect will also work as a Microsoft Windows MediaCenter extender. You can also download movies from CinemaNow or Upload pictures to Snapfish via the MediaSmart Interface on your Television.
“HP MediaSmart connect is the perfect complement to any HDTV. Consumers can enjoy videos, music and photos that were once trapped on PCs on their HD, Big Screen TVs. Show and Tell has never been more fun” said Carlos Montalvo VP of Marketing Services at HP.
I have had the pleasure of playing with a MediaSmart connect for a few hours and I have to say it is a great little device. You will no longer have to hover around a laptop or computer screen to share your pictures. You no longer have to make a DVD slideshow if you want to see your pictures on your TV.
The MediaSmart Connect is available for pre-order right now at Amazon.com for $325, and starting tomorrow June 18th the first 100 people at 12 PM Pacific time to visit this website will beable to trade in their current media connect device for a MediaSmart Connect device from HP.
