ASUS O!Play HDP-R1

If cost is an important factor, ASUS' O!Play HDP-R1 media streaming solution is hard to pass up. It can handle almost anything you throw at it and has a simple (but not bland) interface.

Why do you recommend Veola android ? for a media player given todays requirments it offers very little storage capacity "Memory Cards SD/SDHC up to 32GB"

You missed the best of all. The Patriot Box Office.
Around $100 and way better than any of these.

Media Players, Shmedia Players, Nothings better than a Jailbroken ATV2 with Firecore. I am so confused though. a Jailbroken device should not be the best media player out there. I have brought loads of different ones because I am convinced there must be better but I just cannot find one.
I will keep looking but the Dvico TViX M-6600N is pretty ho hum.
