Yesterday withdrawn the 1.10.02, but now releasing 1.09.21.06 where the changes made in 1.10.02 are applied, but only keeping the 2.4 Kernel.

The 2.6 Kernel release needs some more time to test / debug before releasing.

Release notes: check the 1.10.02 entry

1.09.21.06 will be released officially soon, beta testers have been informed for the download

I saw a request (but cannot find the e-mail anymore) from someone asking if it could be possible to separate the power ON and power OFF for the CFULLHDMA

Unfortunately, the Power ON/OFF is not only controlled by Firmware. the IR codes are, next to firmware, also controlled by another micro processor (a very small IC on the PCB) so therefor it’s not supported. I’ll keep it in mind.

If you want to have the IR codes: find them here

Due to some issues found during playback of the 1.10.02 firmware I have decided to withdraw it as beta testers would have much more issues causing a crash of the device rather than it is working stable

More info will follow when available

Last Friday a lot of websites (like Engadget) reported about the Conceptronic MediaGiant to be presented during Cebit 2008. Above the first 6 images I made from a sample device. Hit the image to get a bigger one to try to see more details.

it’s not ready for sale yet .. but we are working on that. A MultiMedia Player with tons of features including Twonky UPnP Media Server, GuidePlus, A Touchpanel, HDMI, Component etc..

Pricing?

Starting from EUR 349,– (depending on the size of HDD and if you need the Ethernet over Power yes or no (really kewl feature))

If you need a full HDTV capable playing device than your wish is the successor of the C54WMP: the CFULLHDMA (with 1080p support, MKV, MOV etc. etc!

You can find me in Hall 25 ;-)
