A cool concept
http://reviews.cnet.com/Asus_WL_700gE_storage_router/4505-3382_7-31641805.html?tag=bubbl_3

not really a concept now that they've actually got one out. It's expensive, but I love the idea of it. It's basically a router and external HDD media center. It's too expensive for most people right now, but this time next year I wouldn't be surprised if these are very affordable and common.

i think they should combine the hard drive with a unit like this: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=90135293&adid=17654&dcaid=17654, then you could keep all of your media in one place and access it anywhere in the house.

What's the difference? I mean what's missing from the one I linked to? That thing is a router too.

what i totally forgot to mention was that i think all tvs/monitors/projectors/mobile devices should be able to interact with the hard drive so that you could view/listen to all media on any device.

Yeah, I think that's what the iTV is gonna be like when Apple talks more about it in January at Macworld. Only thing about that I'm concerned about is how nicely it'll play with PC's. I guess it doesn't matter because I know I wouldn't be able to get one anyway, but that kinda stuff is cool. The XBox 360 really just needs a router extension (I'm sure you could hack it), and a bigger HDD and it would work.

Sony is trying to do this with some new firmware upgrades to the PSP. You can watch TV on it if you have this special transmitter thing, and you'll be able to share media from your PS3 to your PSP.
