Popcorn Hour caters to digital signage applications with S-210

Talk about broadening one's product portfolio. Popcorn Hour, the outfit that started small with a heralded media streamer last Fall, has delved head first into the wide, wacky world of digital signage. The minuscule S-210 media streamer was built to run around the clock with little power consumption, and it packs 2GB of internal USB flash storage along with no "complicated PC architecture." Everything that goes through the device is controlled by a bundled PC app, and the included HDMI 1.1a / VGA outputs link your advertisements (or other media) to a display. Check the read link for the lengthy list of file format compatibility, and if you're into it, add one to your cart at $219.

That is pretty cool if you have an application that needs this sort of stuff (lots of them if you run a business or do something related).

Considering this should run at 5-10 watts, if you're currently using a computer to power your signs, one of these will pay for itself in about 2 years in electric costs alone.
