AC Ryan Veolo features, The First generation Playon!HD series was reasonably good, the new series 2 with the new version 2.0 GUI is sincerely good, to date I use one of these units myself.
But the market is continuously changing though, the biggest trend last year was tablets, Android entered the market and that certainly changed the balance of smart phones. The concept proves that you can do a lot of stuff with very little hardware, yet it remains intuitive with AC Ryan Veolo features.
With that concept in mind AC Ryan started developing a new media hub slash player, in fact I shouldn't call it a media-player really as it is much more than that. The end product is called the Veolo.
The Veolo is AC Ryan's version of a media 'HUB' powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo).
Being based on Android you are obviously freed from a somewhat sluggish Realtek chip and software. Next to that the Android platform offers TV functions including a full Web browser with support for Flash and even HTML5 at AC Ryan Veolo features.
With Android comes downloadable apps, widgets from the 'AndroidPIT' app center and heck, even Android games could run. That's right, Angry Birds in 1080P !
The hardware side of things doesn't suck either, you'll notice features like Gigabit Ethernet and (included) Wireless-N connectivity. Meanwhile a 1GHz processor (ARM Cortex-A9 ) and 512MB RAM pledge fast functionality. There are two USB ports and an SDHC slot available too, to add extra storage. No embedded HDD though, this really is intended to be a streaming media device.
These high-speed interfaces should provide smoother 1080p MKV movie playback via an HDMI output. What makes this kit special is the included 3-in-1 remote control, as it acts as a wireless motion controller, keyboard and mouse for easier text input and navigation. You'll literally be pointing towards your telly as if it was a touch-screen.
