Venzero's LINQ Personal Streaming Media Player

We have been watching the onslaught of Personal Media Players that have hit the shelves over the past year and have been largely unimpressed. Not to say that these devices suck or anything, but rather, for us we don't see the huge appeal as of yet. With the limit storage most of these have, or the limited functionality nothing has really peaked our interest. Well that has slightly changed after we saw the LINQ.

This small device does what you would expect it to do, it plays music and movies from the included 4GB of flash. Devices that do that are a dime a dozen, what makes this special is that it has built in WiFi so you can stream your music collection from your PC to the LINQ. So that basically allows you to walk around anywhere with your entire music collection on hand, no more limitations with drive size in these small devices. Now you can have access to your home collection from wherever you can get a signal. Now we have no idea how your music would sound over WiFi or if you could even get this working beyond your home network, but the possibilities have us very interested.
We might have to get one of these when they come out this month.
