Hot on the heels of the Veolo2 review, this little bit of news should not slip under the radar: The A.C. Ryan PlayOn!HD Mini3.
The PlayOn!HD Mini3 is the baby brother of the PlayOn!HD3 which we reviewed here earlier in the year.
Just like the big brother, the Mini3 sports the same core features:
* Supports various 3D video files.
* Gigabit LAN for performance network video streaming
* Small Form Factor
* Silent Cooling (Effective Heat Dissipation Design)
* In-built Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n
* Network Drive function for external storage devices (NAS)
The key difference is that the Mini3 does not have an interface to support an internal drive, making it perfect for those who have their media stored on a NAS or an USB caddy.
