The ability to stream movies and music over ethernet or wirelessly is something not to be missed. Why settle for a Blu-ray player that just plays Blu-rays? However it’s often difficult when looking at most e-commerce sites to determine what features products have and don’t have.  So we’ve created this list of 6 of the most popular players as listed by Amazon.com to save you some time. If you click on the review link and scroll down you can read reviews of each unit.

Some notes. Built in wireless means you do not need to purchase anything else to connect to your home wireless network to start streaming. If it says Ready, it means you’ll have to use a direct Ethernet connection or you’ll have to purchase an optional wireless adapter

With its small size, 2.4 inch color display, optional battery pack for portability and tons of built in networks it is far above any competitor. Consider out of the box connectivity to Slacker, Pandora, Live365, Rhapsody, last.fm and more and you’ll never be at a loss for bedside listening again. Yes, it will also access all the music that is on your PC. Did I mention that WiFi is included? Put it anywhere in your home and you’re good to go!

It enables you to stream your digital content from almost anywhere to your TV. There is not much information on the site but it does seem to have some interesting features. It works with Live365 & Shoutcast. It also can pull vidoes and picutures form your PC or even a flash card. For $179 it seems like a true bargain. Of course how well it streams and how easy the interface is to use is the key. Since the site does not show a demo and there are scant pictures we’ll have to wait until they start shipping the product. If you install your own hard drive you can use it for BitTorrent downloads, direclty to the box. If anyone know of real reviews on this product please post them. Visit them here

Yeah, not very original but likely a good fit. It is a downloadable application that will let users of iPod’s download FlyTunes 400 + stations to the iPod. This will be very cool for all of you tired of listening to the same old songs on your iPods. One can only hope that FlyTunes will make this work with non-Apple MP3 players. Come on guys, don’t leave the non Apple folks out in the cold. You can go to FlyTunes.fm and sign up for the “velvet rope” list.

This is great especially since these consoles are usually located next to a TV which will also likely be next to your stereo. Forget the wireless connections that often flake out over 2.4 Ghz. Just fire up your console and connect. You of course need a wireless network or a wired connection to your router. Click Read more for the rest of the article
