New Competition for the Slingbox?

So it looks like a new product from Taiwan may try and give the Slingbox a run for its money. ADigit have announced a new product called gogomedia. Not sure where that name comes from, but then again where the hell did they get Slingbox. Anyway, seeing as Slingbox has enjoyed basically a free ride atop the ranks of video over the Internet companies, ADigit is going to try and step to take some of that market share away.

Just like the Slingbox the gogomedia will allow you to watch your home TV anywhere you are as long as you have an Internet connection. If you go over to the BC blog you can see the full range of features that this new device is outfitted with. Some of the highlights are:

• MPEG4/2/1 Real-time encode/off-line MP3/MPEG4 transformation
• Full D1 resolution/Full-speed (30fps NTSC/25 fps PAL)
• Adjustable streaming rates from 128Kbps to 12Mbps full D1
  resolution

ADigit has also made the claim that they will be able to control over 1000 different video units( DVD, DVR, etc ) with just the one box. We will have to wait and see about that since there has been no release date and we aren't even sure if this will hit the states.

If and when it does you can be sure we'll snatch one up. It is always great when some new competition comes on the scene. It can only mean one thing....better products for us!
