The design looks like someone slapped a display on a trash can, but the Media Pro HD is a full HD networked hard drive media player that hooks up to any HDTV or A/V receiver allowing you to get started almost immediately.

It features a hot-swappable hard drive tray and you can hook up to your home network without wires, but it does have an Ethernet option too. Some other features include a Sigma Designs SMP8635 CPU and Silicon Image SiI9134 HDMI 1.3 transmitter for just $215.

Looking for a PMP with a long battery life? You might want to check out the Sonix7 Media Pro. The PMP features a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with an impressive 20-hours of video playback on just one charge. But that isn’t the only trick it does.

The player also boasts a camera, MP4, AVI and Xvid support, plus is an eBook reader. The 8GB and 16GB models will cost you £89.99($136) and £104.99($159).
