Syabas Launches Popcorn Hour A-400

Syabas launched the next generation member of their Popcorn Hour A-series at IFA 2012 last week. Even though we have been aware of the news for quite some time, we waited till the official US press release was sent to us. Some blogs have already covered the IFA launch. US readers worried about the price (289 Euros, which translates to more than $350 at current exchange rates) should be quite happy to find that Syabas plans to sell the A-400 elsewhere for US $249 only.

The A-400 scores over the A-300 in some critical aspects:

Support for 3D Blu-ray playback with BD-Lite
Premium casing from SilverStone, which ensures optimal passive cooling
Slide-out tray for hard disk installation
Tablet apps (iOS available at launch / Android version coming later this year) to present NMJ interface on the secondary screen
Sigma Designs SMP8911 with VXP Video Processing
