Digital Cowboy Media Streaming Hard Drive
And yet another great media hard drive is out in the wild and this one looks like the best one yet! The Movie Cowboy is from a company called Digital Cowboy and it looks like it does just about everything. From playing HD content via HDMI at full 1080p to including a plethora of network servers( UPnP,SAMBA,NFS,FTP ) this has just about everything you could want.
It seems to us that Digital Cowboy sat back, watched what everyone else did and checked out what worked and what didn't and produced what seems to be the perfect little device. Just check out the different formats this puppy supports:

We haven't seen any interface screenshots yet, but assuming they haven't produced a horrid user experience we see this as a great option for people looking for a simple yet fully functional media streaming device for their home. Looking over the specs we really can't see anything that would make us think this would fall short in any category.
Unfortunately it is only for sale in Asia currently so we can only hope that it makes it to the rest of the world soon. We for one will be buying one as soon as we can.
We'll have more info hopefully in the future as soon as some hands on reviews come in from Asia.
