The PICOHD 5.1 Does Full HD and Surround Sound with a Matchbox Footprint
Looks like a memory card reader, don’t it? In essence it is, but look at bit closer and you’ll realize it’s a whole lot more. The PicoHD5.1 is in fact a media player that connects to your television via RCA and HDMI – shocking we know. On the front are ports for a USB storage device or SD card, separated by an IR receiver for the included remote control. But don’t be fooled by its minuscule size. 5.1-channel isn’t beyond reach and nor is full HD playback. And it doesn’t hurt that its packed inside a heavy duty aluminum enclosure.
Unfortunately, it’s availability seems to be limited to the EU, where it costs about $80.
