We Got Served

D-Link today announced a new digital media player at CES 2010. The Pebble streams music, video and photos from external hard drives, SD/XM/Flash memory cards, network attached storage (NAS) devices, PCs or the Internet.   An optional dongle is available for wireless 802.11n connectivity.

Details are limited at this point, but the press shot shows another kooky form factor (continuing the trend set by the Boxee Box). The company promises:

When attached to a home network – either wired or wireless — the D-Link Pebble accepts media files from any PC on the network or NAS device, and allows playback on the entertainment center TV and stereo with high-resolution quality and crystal clear sound.  The intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) makes user navigation quick and point-click-and-play easy.

The USB 2.0 ports support an external hard drive, thumbdrives, various memory card formats and a USB wireless dongle.  HDMI 1.3 and analog video output and composite audio also are built into the Pebble for the ultimate viewing and listening experience.

Price is slated at $119.99 with the product available in the US later in the year. We’ll dig down and find out more later in the week.
