Ready to be the best HD player out there!

They have not yet come to the market but once they do it they will undoubtedly be the best HD Players.

I am talking about Popcorn Hour Networked Media Tank (1st picture) and Dune HD Ultra (2nd picture), both use or will use the new chipset Sigma Designs EM8634 that stands out for its ability to play high definition videos up to 1080p and 1080i, it means they can play videos with 1920 × 1080 resolution.

The Popocornhour Networked Media Tank price will be 179 $, while for the Dune HD Ultra there are not too much information altought it looks a little bit better than the Popcorn Hour player.

I'll post the specifications of both player on future posts, by now should be enough with the pictures...

PS: Popcorn Hour, which is also called PopCorn Hour A100, finally will use Chipset EM8635. It's basically the same one than EM8634 but it doesn't have the CSS license code, so it can¡t play legally original DVD's.

Here you got the rear side of PopCorn Hour A100

The comments are wrong. Both will be mainly HD Video players and hardly be capable of prividing music fun beside generic playback. Also, the EM8634 chip does "not exist". The PopCorn will use the SMP8635 from sigma and the Dune HD will use the SMP8634. The difference between these two is that the EM8634 has DVD CSS code on board while the SMP8635 is mend for players without DVD drive like the PoPCorn Hour is.
