With all of the digital content in the average home today from digital photos to digital home movies shot with a camcorder there is lots of content that users want to watch and enjoy around the home. The catch is that the digital content is often stuck inside of one computer on the network with no easy method of accessing the content from elsewhere.

HP has introduced a pair of new home servers for Mac and PC users. The HP MediaSmart Server will be offered in two models including the ex485 and ex487. HP says that the server will automatically organize files across the network and stream media across the home network and the Internet.

One of the cool devices that HP was showing off back at CES in January was its MediaSmart Connect device. With the MediaSmart Connect HP is set to take on other streaming media devices like the Netflix Player and the Apple TV.

HP announced today that the MediaSmart Connect is now available for pre-order at a price of $349. The device will be available to pre-order starting today on Amazon.com, Best Buy, Circuit City, and at Newegg.com. Included with the device is an HDMI cable and learning remote that can operate four additional devices as well as a $20 CinemaNow certificate.
