D-Link DSM-330 HD Media Player: First North American DivX Connected Home Theater Device, Full Support For 3rd Party Plugins

splash-getconnected(2).jpg Adding a DivX Connected device to your home theater system is about to be one of the latest and greatest ways to turn your plain ol' TV set into the digital multimedia center of you home. It hasn't arrived in North America quite yet, but it's close, and will come in the form of the D-Link DSM-330 HD Media Player. This handy little media player won't take up a whole lot of room in your home theater setup and while it can be hooked up over your wired ethernet network, the DSM-330 will stream content from your PC to your TV wirelessly as well, with 802.11b/g support. Hooked up to your high-def set via HDMI, the DSM-330 will stream DivX video content and online video (which it'll convert to DivX) up to 720p, and if you want to listen to music or look at your latest family vacation pics using your TV rather than your computer it'll easily stream those as well. Probably one of the coolest features of the DSM-330 is its support of 3rd party plugins and add-on services making it one of the most customizable and scalable media player's around. Easy-to-setup, the DSM-330 has an attractive user interface which you can navigate with an included remote control while you sit back and relax on the couch.

We're excited to tell you we'll have a hands-on review of the D-Link DSM-330 HD Media Player in the coming weeks, and even though it won't be hitting North American shelves until July, if we've piqued your interest and got you all excited you can pre-order it from Amazon for $249.99.
