Heres Asus Suprising yet again with this Eee based media center..
The ASUS EeeMedia EM0501 is supposedly a High Definition Media Center, based around an 800MHz Samsung S5PV210 ARM chipset with 512MB of RAM and a 2.5-inch HDD bay. It can hook up to your network for streaming content, and output 1080p Full HD.
Connectivity includes wired ethernet and WiFi b/g/n, though we're not entirely sure what video/audio outputs there are to go along with that; we're guessing HDMI will be among them, since it's present on ASUS' more basic O!Play range. Supported media formats include H.264, WMV, MPEG1-4, HDV, VC-1, DivX, XviD, AVI, VOB, MOV, MKV, RMVB video and JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG and TIFF / TIF stills.
It's also possible to surf the internet directly from the EM0501, though there's no indication of whether ASUS will be supplying a remote keyboard to make that a little more straightforward. Instead there's talk - but no photos - of an IR-based multimedia remote control which will presumably handle basic navigation.
Pricing and where this very Intresting Media player will come soon.
Cebit is really bringing some Surprises this Year,more tommrow when where at the show.
