D-Link's new DSM-520 HD media player

We've seen plenty from D-Link in their MediaLounge series of wireless media players, but now they're taking it HD with the new DSM-520. That's pretty much the story, all the same 802.11g, USB 2.0, and Ethernet connectivity, just this time there are HD outputs like HDMI and component to get videos up to 1080i playing on whatever display strikes your fancy. There are also coax and optical digital audio outputs for digital surround sound, so get ready to party like it's 2005. Ah, the year of HD -- it will missed.

Haven't these been out since 2005??

Ummm this is news? I have had this unit for 4+ months.

If GBPVR (or other software) could stream live HD to this thing, we'd have a winner.

Now if only they would introduce a Mac compatible version...

The funny thing is I'd bet a dollar the thing runs on Linux but only has Win XP support for use...
